New gas tank for my C-10

Hey guys, I am in a slow process of long list of upgrades and changes for my red C-10 and one of them is the gas tank. Mark aka Fuelcellguy is building my tank and just about has it done. Here is a pic that Mark sent me!!! I am looking forward to doing the install and getting creative with the filler spot!
My truck is lowwered 4.5" in the front and 4" in the back all by ECE. This is an 18 gallon tank that should sit real nice!

How much? (If you don't mind me asking) I will be starting my Frame soon and I will be looking for a fuel cell.

I'm curious to know where you will be placing the fuel cell. In the bed or under it?

I assume Mark will weld hangers on the sides and the tank will bolt to the frame where the spare tire was.
