1987 R10 - Dual Tanks to Single

Got a fresh built 383 with a big block TBI finally running correctly today. Because of the need for over 14psi I installed a high pressure pump on the rail of my right side tank and bypassed the switch. Not going to bother with the left side tank as I'm not sure how the switch valve would appreciate all that.

I'm really looking to just drop both the side tanks and go with a single tank. For both simplicity and necessities sake. This is just my weekend truck to have some fun on the street with and haul things occasionally. I only need one 15-20 gallon tank really.

Saw the custom tank Brothers makes but that is about $500 just for the metal. I've heard of some using Blazer tanks I believe but not sure how that fits and mounts underbody.

Just trying to consolidate some opinions on potential avenues. I know a fuel cell in the bed is probably the easiest route but I want to keep the bed space as it's SWB. All opinions and suggestions welcome....just trying to get some ideas. I would prefer to keep it simple though....I'm not a metal fab expert by any means...
