Probably be able to squeeze 41 gallons into it so it's nothing like the old work mules 3 bottomless tanks..
But it will still be over $150 to fillerup...
The thing is, I should have an easy 700 mile range from her.
I'm not even considering fuel economy in the pro-street project.

Are you grafting in a fuel door on the bedside or doing the bed floor door?
Neither of the two,I spent many and hour along with some help here and decided to use the rear stake hole at the driver side for my new fuel fill.
I lowered the truck 3" and may go more,so the other options wouldn't have worked well for me being 6'5".
I cant wait for my first time at the gas station ! Some of the old timers wondering why I'm pouring fuel down that hole,should be good for a few chuckles !
