First off great pics of the kids. Cant wait to have some of my own you know. If I am remembering correctly that is a truck that is in a classic truck article this month or very recently. I thought it was a neat set-up also but am going a different route with my truck. If I did put the tank under the bed (instead of in it) thats the way I would do it.
What was that Surfboard toting Blue Bigwheels looking thing? Kinda Cool looking. Kids look happy! I've seen the board hinge kit around, and motorized...Too high tech for my taste's, but cool. Thank's for the Pic's!
good points as far as a pain accessing it for fuel when you have anything in the bed. Tom I like your idea, keep us posted on the progress for that install.
When reading the new two classic truck mags, one had a fuel door inside the bed on the side. The under the bed tank fuel filler does a u-turn in the back of the wheel well into the bed and through a standard size fuel door(inside the bed). Looks easy and clean install. Have a great day, chuck

Interesting fuel door. If yer traveling to a big show, and have all your goods in the bed, filling up on the way there could be a pita. But, for show and to have things hidden, IE shaved drip rails, fuel filler, antenna, etc...then I see its point.
Mine will be similar to tip49's....under the rear crossmember, above the rear bumper (no roll pan for me) and hidden behind a spring loaded license plate....in theory.
