I used a plastic one on a 72 4x4 Suburban it had the short neck. It was a tight fit but managed to sandwich it in between the frame rail and the body. Now more recently I had the metal tank that I bought from the Car and Truck Shop out of California sells and it was a pain. I ended up bending the lip of the frame down to clear the neck. It wasn't pretty but it worked. Not one of my finest quality jobs. Yeah, it was a hack job not proud of it either. Pressed for time to get it back together.
