I have a 16 gal poly cell under my truck....it fits good, & tucks up nice, but the cruise range is a little short tween stops. That old 383 is pretty thirsty

IMO to do it again, I would look @ the biggest tank or cell that you can fit

Member 67Slider did a tank swap recently using a 69 Camaro tank w/ flip down license plate to access the filler. Turned out really good w/ little mods. Going this route, you don't have to worry bout fabbing up a hole on the side of bed or bed floor for the filler. I plan on going this way on mine when the funds allow it.

How about something a little different? 10 Gal side tanks, one on each side.
