Fuel tank relocation ideas

Doing a frame up build on my 69 F100 and am looking for ideas on what to do with relocating my fuel tank out of the cab. What have y'all done with mounting in the rear, or maybe bed mount tanks?

Here is what i did> 1969 mustang fuel cell. Framed it in with stock rear cross member. placed butyl rubber between tank and frames for isolation.

The Mustang tanks are a nice addition. You said you also wanted ideas on in bed tanks, here is one I used for a aux tank in a 76 F350 I restored. The top is a tool box the bottom is a 30 gal. gas tank.

I don't have any pics but my camper special has a tank mounted under the bed behind the cab on the driver's side. It's an aux tank but it could be used as a main.

If you choose the Mustang tank option, the 1970 Mustang tank offers the largest capacity at 22 gal.

Here's TP Daniels' IH Scout tank retrofit: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post11249613

The rear crossmember does have to be moved back some.

The vendor and PNs are provided in the thread.
