A 1986 Jeep Cherokee fit the best. The routing of the filler neck was a bit challenging for me but that can be addressed if you mount the tank lower in the frame.

You have been a source of inspiration. I just signed up after lurking for a long while. Great site and especially your posts. I am building a 48 as well and I might have to re-think a few things after seeing yours
