i have installed a poly tank on my 64 c20 wrecker that i made a bed for it. it has a pretty good bend to hose going in and it makes filling the tank a little slow. on my 63 shortbed i installed a steel tank. i installed it coming up out of the bed. i won't haul a big load so it won't be a problem and it is easier to fill. i don't think it matters which brand you go with i thought thet are all a copy of the panel tank. i think if you have it come out bedside the hose will still have to pass thru floor then bedside so it will be in the way no matter what. not saying 48bigtrucks is wrong, he will be able to fill no matter what he has on for a load. since neither one of mine was a fleetside if yours is that it will be different. going all the way to the outside fender really wasn' going to work for me on the stepside. good luck, hr
