47-55.1 Under bed gas tank with side feed?

The 79 ElCamino that I horse traded for for my son had a custom made 40 gallon tank, The bill for the tank was in the glove box and it ran 250 in 1985 dollars. Paper work in the glove box said that who ever had the truck at that time made regular runs between Tuscon and SoCal and I'd have to believe that they were running gas from Mexico as running across the border and filling up for about a third of what US prices were at he time was pretty common then. Thing is, with material and labor costs what they are that 250 buck tank would run between 5 and 6oo now.

I am not at home to measure mine for about a week. I don’t know how much room you’ve got between those frame rails.
I used this one in a big kit then I notched the Frame rail and heavily fish plated it outer rail.
Taking hose up and out through the side of the fender with one of those Gas, cap free fillers you just put the hose in and go, and a push pop open door. Installing a one-way valve in the fuel line to keep it from slashing back out since there’s not a lot of drop from fill to tank.
Ended up upgrading to Aeromotive in tank pump. Just didn’t like the looks of that one that came with the kit and didn’t want to remove it later.
I notched my frame rail, so the tank and all will drop straight out the bottom if I have to.

Talking about making it work!

But I guess isn't that what its all about, looks great!

How many gallons on a C10 tank?

And what suspension are you running?
