They put a 30-gallon tank where the old spare tire mount was, under the bed, in the back, and installed a good strong bumper - welded to the frame - for added safety. Looks like they bent the filler tube creatively and got it to go to a real nice filler-door in the rear pasenger-side fender.

I bought it that way.
It's a 30-gallon tank ... 12 inches deep ... and I think it's 24" x 24"
I guess you could measure the space you have available and put anything in that would fit ... the problem to solve would be the filler neck. Looks like mine was "creatively" managed - and done nicely, too!

Tucks up under the rear cross member with a little mod to clear the pick up tubes. Zeke www.raybuck.com
