I put a tank from an ~87 suburban in my Suburban. Didn't need to do much to get it to work. Some square tube across the top of the frame so it wouldn't go up all the way to the floor was about it. I also had to move the rearmost crossmember and I used that and the crossmember for the straps.

It's all installed, so I can only show the tank in and the straps in the crossmember really
