i have a 55 and i put a tbird irs in it i moved the tank to the rear of the truck and filled in the filler on the side of the cab and now that i am doing the bed and wood i find that i do not like having the the filler door in the bed i kind of wish that i had left the tank under the cab and put in a filler door on the side instead i thought about making or using a side fill on the tank in the back but i didn't like cutting my new fiberglass fenders so i guess i stuck with in the rear for now leave your tank under the cab and use the spare tire rack under the bed for a nice clean install

you could possibly keep your stock tank placement but run the filler neck under the bed floor behind the cab. if you are going for a clean look, mid fifty sells a kit to hydraulically flip up one of the bed boards to hide the filler neck. this would keep your stock location for your tank, shave your filler cap, and keep the spare tire.
