What about a Titan tank? Doesn't take up any extra room in the bed anywhere.
I have the 56 gallon for a long box extended cab. I can get over 1000mi on it on highway driving if I'm not towing anything. I really like it. It sticks down about 2" lower than the stock tank, goes back almost right to the rear axle.

I just looked at Tina's website and they don't have any for the 2nd Gen trucks.

I have never driven out of FLORIDA, and where I live there is a gas station in every other block, I have never ran out of fuel in my life

I work for an airline, so I have traveled all over the US & I have gone to some foreign countries. But when it caomes to driving, I drove almost to JACKSONVILLE, it was almost an 8 hour drive. And had no trouble finding DIESEL !!

I have a 105 gallon square tank in the bed of my 98. I drilled a hole in the lower front side (drivers side) and put a cheap bung in the hole. Plumbed some soft marine grade lines to a cheap $30 Napa fuel pump, then ran that to the filler neck tube and plumbed it in there. When I'm rolling down the highway I hit a switch on the dash and the pump kicks on, re-filling my OEM tank while I watch the fuel gauge go up. Takes about 15minutes for it to fill from almost empty to full, but what do I care, I'm rolling down the road. I did forget once, and lost probably 10 gallons out the vent, but a timer switch on the dash could solve that if your going senile.
