51 aluminum fuel tank question

I'm to the point of needing a fuel tank. I've looked at the mustang setups but think I want to go with an aluminum tank. These are the two I'm looking at, does anyone have any experience with either one or another recommendation?

48-60 Ford Truck Fuel Tank

Or

1948-60 Ford Pickup Under Box Aluminum Fuel Tank - Free Shipping @ Speedway Motors

Thanks,
Matt

fuel tank

I can see that you want an aluminum fuel tank, but I installed a steel 20 gallon tank designed for a 1973 Chevy C10 or Blazer that fit my 51 perfectly for under $200 new. Came with straps and sending unit. Had to make two mounting plates for each side of the frame. One day install.
You could use the remaining $175 to $200 for other stuff.

Google replacement Chev C-10 fuel tanks or check LMC Truck

Hope this helps

Dan
