The '48 model had the tank under the bed, and the filler came out the right side of the bed in front of the fender. So a replacement '48 tank with filler neck should do the job. Here's some pics of mine. These should show how it's mounted and how it orients to the bed side, the frame and the bed supports. It comes out right behind the cab and below the bed:

I had a new tank fabricated that incorporated the original filler neck. You may be able to do that cheaper than buying a replacement tank. Just find a local welder. Mind is aluminum, to eliminate rust.
