Gas Tank

Is it possible to fit a long bed gas tank into a short bed truck. I think the PO installed the wrong tank in the truck, it sits at an angle and drops down by about 4 inches in the front below the side of the truck. Its in there tight, nothing is loose, it just looks wrong.

Does anyone know the overall dim between these to tanks so I can give it a check?

Re: Gas Tank

I know you can't on a 4x4 because the tank nearly kisses the spring hangar. I would imagine it's the same on a 2x.
