33gal aluminum tank on CL, questions

Someone put this up on my local CL:

33 Gal. Aluminum Fuel Tank For '73-'87 Chev/Gmc Pickup - $300 (napa county)

I have a 33 gal. aluminum fuel tank with sender, custom made from 1/4" 5051 aluminum. This is the same material that boat tanks are made from, which have a 1 hour fire rating. The tank has a compatible sender for the fuel guage and a baffle. The tank replaces the main tank on the passenger side.
Fits: 1973-1987 Chev and GMC long bed pickups. Could also fit Suburbans to 1991.

Price: $300 obo
Bill

It looks like an odd shape to me, but I would like a larger tank and aluminum is nice. I'm trying to figure out where the filler neck would go... thoughts on whether I could get this to fit?

I would guess that it would be in the wheel well.

The tank is 62.5” long. The section with the filler is 11” hi and the section that steps down is 9” hi. Other than that, you need to see it. It was mounted to my ’76 chev K10 long bed that I converted to Propane. If your ’73 C20 is a long bed, it will fit perfect. The fuel is filled in front of the rear wheel, like a saddle tank.

I don't see how that would work, but it's not horribly far so I'll have to go take a look at it.
