I moved mine into the very front of the bed. There really isnt any other place on these trucks, almost no room under the frame for one.

If you can find a panel truck or "bread van" in the wrecking yard around the same year, those tanks should fit inside the frame rail. You'd need to get the mounting brackets off the frame too.
Or, how about under the bed behind the rear end?
