What are some other tank ideas for a rear mount tank?
I'm looking at running 2 87 tanks*20 gal* with 300lph pumps, but I'm also building it with the plan of a slick looking Trailer puller *drag car/jet boat, occasional gooseneck* so I'm going for the simplicity look also. Its going to be setting up a little bit, 4-6" suspension. So if I run saddles, I will be able to clearly see the skidplates(70s style). So I'm looking for an alternative.
I have a tank out of a G25, but the fill neck is to the passenger side, and I've seen people modify the bed edge to run a k5 filler neck, but I am trying to retain a completely stock bed floor, so I'm looking for a tank with the neck to the rear of the tank, something that I can use to set it up as a license hidden filler neck.

Post any an all images or ideas, all are welcome. and feedback is appreciated.

I think the idea of putting the filler neck behind a taillight that swings out. I have seen it done on a couple of squarebodies, so it is doable. It would just take a little bit of fabricating, and it probably wouldn't matter what side the neck comes out of the tank. With it behind a taillight it would still be accessible when you have a trailer hooked up, be it be hitch or goose. With a filler location behind your license plate that could end up being a circus to fill up with a trailer behind you.
