40gal Suburban Tank into 87' Long Bed

I tried searching, but it's hard not to bring up every post on the forum with the word "suburban".

Does anybody know if the 40gal Suburban tank will fit into an 87' long bed? I'd like to get rid of the dual tanks and just go to one large tank when I do my 6.0L swap, just to simplify things.

Longbed, yes. At least according to my measurements it will. Is a swap really, if you have saddle tanks. I just get tired of having to 'flip' the truck around to get both tanks filled from the same pump. The pumps at Quik Trip are just far enough apart that I can not park in the middle and reach the tank.
