Need opinions

The way I see it I have 3 options for fuel tank/spare tire placement on my swb stepside.

option 1: Leave tank in cab and put spare under bed

option 2: Put blazer tank under bed and keep spare in bed (or go without spare which I don't like.)

option 3: Buy a aluminum toolbox that will fit in my truck and put a fuel cell in the bottom of it (extend it to the floor of the bed).

What do ya'll think.
