Pinto anyone. Nah, it's very little different than Ramchargers or vans. Add a trailer hitch for extra protection if you're concerned about it Pinto ing...

When I removed the in-cab tank from my '71, I replaced it with a late-70's C-body tank. It fit perfectly between the rails in the spare-tire area, with the filler behind the plate. I don't remember the size, but it was about double the in-cab, and I'm sure it would be significantly bigger than that Mustang tank. i was trying to remember that when this topic was posted, and you remembered it for me ! thank you sir ! if i remember correctly, [there's that "remember" thing again ] the 74-78 C-bodies i owned over my lifetime were somewhere around 22-26ish gallon tanks ? mustang tanks are maybe 15ish [?] and in cab truck tanks are maybe 14ish ? just an old guy who knew many things years ago, but has forgotten lots due to the spiders hiding the knowledge in his noggin with cobwebs...............

In their original application, Mustang tanks were the trunk floor. The pinchweld sat on the frame rails and crossmembers. One could do similar to the bed floor.
Another option is Ford truck tanks, move your existing filler neck from in front of the wheel to behind. Up until the mid 90s the sending units were compatible with the Dodge gauges. Depending on year, an electric fuel pump is easy to add.
