I used a mid 70's blazer tank I scavenged from an old frame I had. The only issue I had with mounting the filler low instead of high was that it doesn't leave much fall. I welded a filler pipe in the D/S rear corner. I ran the filler pipe way up into the tank so that it wouldn't have as much of a chance to splash out on acceleration. The only issue I have had with it is that you have to fill it on the first click on the gas pump. I would not want to do it on a daily driver that way.
