Gas tank

Can you install a behind-the-seat gas tank in a truck that has the under-the-bed tank. If so does it hinder you being able to slide the back glass door.

The in cab tank won't hinder the back glass slider. It will hinder moving your seat back a little bit. Also, in cab tanks were mounted to brackets that were spot welded to the cab, so you'll have to make a bracket system for the tank. Curious, why would you want an in cab tank? Most people want to get rid of them.

You'll have to look at getting a tank that fits the 67-72 trucks because I think those are still being made, but for the 73-79 trucks they are no longer made.

The smaller rear under the bed tank would be 19 gallons, so I'm not sure way you'd have a 12 gallon one unless that's aftermarket. You can replace a standard rear 19 gallon tank with up to a 38 gallon tank if you wanted too.
