Mustang and Blazer don't work as well as a 67-68 Camaro for a 1950. The frame is much wider in the back on a 50 that it is on a 55 up. we ran the fill though the left fender, but you could do a bed fill or rear fill.

Re: 50 gas tank

check this link ouit. an 49-52 chevy car fuel tank installed in the rear of a 65 chevy truck. the fuel fill is at the rear corner and the tank is not too deep. dunno if it would work for your application though.

How much is that 68 Camaro tank and how did you mount it exactly?

Re: 50 gas tank

Check out the 62-67 and up to 70 Chevy II /nova tank also. It is only 8 3/4" deep. (38 wide 19 3/8 and 8 3/4) It has a center rear exit.
