S10 Gas Tank? Will it work? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi all!

I've been debating on the gas tank for my '49 GMC. The simple solution is to put it in the back under the bed between the frame, but I would really like to keep a spare tire back there, so...

My thoughts are to use an s10 side mount tank between the frame and the drive shaft. I've done some preliminary measuring and it "should" fit.

Has anybody else done this? Any clearance issues?

Here is my build:
49 GMC Long Bed
Stock frame
Updated leaf springs
79 Camaro rear end

Any input would be appreciated.
