Underbed Propane tank?

I was wondering, if I ever get around to resurrecting my '67 K/10 Sub, if I could [after converting the engine to propane use] run tanks inside over the wheelwells and panel over them. I would still want it to run on gas whenever I needed to.
It's got a 454, but after an engine fire in late '98, it's been sitting. Now it's a "Rat" motor in more ways than one!
Current pipe dream is to build up a 292 L6 for propane/ turbo. With OPEC on the warpath again, I can't go back to 6 MPG.

As long as you had some ventilation so the gas could excape, there should be no problem with putting panel over them.

Thanks, I was only thinking of light (like 3/8" )plywood for side panels. Would venting into the interior be a problem?

It needs to be completely sealed from the interior and vented to be "legally" installed. That doesn't mean you can't do what you want, but to be safe.....

Maybe I'll need a more conventional propane tank location, then. That project is still a long way off.
Thanks
