Here fuel cells aren't legal inside the passenger compartment. You would need to build a sealed compartment and vent it outside the vehicle for it to be legal inside the cab.

I was thinking about this too, I figured I would raise the tank and the rear cargo floor line a few inches. Was thinking having the bottom of the tank a couple inches above the bottom of the rear frame. I haven't actually measured if the tank can fit up higher without cutting into some of the body supports yet tho. I bet a similarly sized fuel cell could fit up between the bottom of the body and sit above the bottom of the frame....maybe?

The 2 cross members that the top of the tank sits against would need to be moved or redone too. Then basically tub the rear wheel wells rearward.

You could stick a side mounted tank from a ranger in it. You should have the room if you get the axle back 6". Thats my plan if I stretch the rear on mine. You can always move the front forward too, theres nothing in the way up front. If you change from leafs to a four link setup you can move the axle back 30", without modifying the frame, more if you wanted to extend the frame out.

Mine. Front stretched 6".

Mine is stretched 3" rear (the front is also pushed 1" forward)

I did it by simply moving the leaf hangers back on the frame. Fenders are cut more at the rear than the front to match up with it
