I don't know of anyone that has done it. With that being said, there is only two ways to find out.....

Measure the tank, then measure it again! Then compare to where it would sit inside your frame. I think the frames on the 99 and up are wider than the 73-87's, but I can't be certain.

The other way would be to get the tank, strip it down, and stuff it up in there and see what happens. It might interfere with the driveshaft, crossmembers, etc.

Remember, the 99 and up tanks are on the inside of the frame. My first thought it that no, it won't fit. But without having one to try for myself, I can't be sure.
