Jim Carter has reproduction Suburban tanks. Maybe that would work.

I am going with a 68-70 El Camino tank from Summit ( Tanks inc.) that is EFI ready.

I want a side fill via drivers fender and I think this will work for me.

on my 57 I put the filler door on the topof the raer fender behind the wheel. it has to sit far enough out for the door to clear the body when it is opening. i used a filler door from a scrap envoy I had laying arond and bent it to fit the shape of the fender. my tank is a belly tank along the inside of the frame and 1/2 way under the cab so it has a bit of a run to get from the filler to the tank. it works well as far as I can tell when filling with a 5 gallon gas can tipped upside down. no burps, fills quick. the filler entry is inside the fender and is a stock envoy filler which has been shortened a little to fit the hose over the frame. the hose from the filler to the metal filler pipe was just generic fuel hose from the hydraulic shop.
