Hey Fred, theirs a few different threads going around on here about this same issue. Some are going with the older suburban tanks (up to 40gal). Some are using Mustang, late 60-70s, and some are using s-10 tank setups. For between the frame rails I would think you'll want to look into the Suburbans or mustang tanks. I went with one from a 70 Mustang since it has mounting flanges all around it and a center rear fill which I can place in the bed floor. Run down a few threads, you'll see a full discussion on the topic. GL w/ your build!
