fuel tank

My dad picked up a combo tool/fuel box from http://www.thefuelbox.com/. His the FTC60. He got the optional plumb it in to your filler neck option. Works great. As the level gets a little below half tank on the truck, the auto-controller fills the truck tank back to about 3/4 full, and continues the cycle until the aux tank is empty. The aux tank level is displayed on the little control box. It requires tapping in to the truck's fuel tank sending unit (easily found in the wire loom running along the frame rail).

The spray on bed liner type coating is nice as well. There are other cheaper cost aux tanks out there. This one is an expensive purchase, but money well spent.

Not sure which model might work for you, but I bought the RDS brand (42 gal tank/tool box combo) some years back. At the time, I wasn't sure if I was just splurging on an unnecessary investment. Now, I can't imagine living without it. I am very happy with the RDS brand. I installed it myself just going by the instructions and it has worked flawlessly. Northern Tool had the best price online, shipping was a breeze, and I saved over local vendors who wanted more and charged sales tax. Good luck.

Might be a problem, might not, but be sure to consider the additional weight of the tank and fuel.

Why not just replace your tank with a bigger one? http://www.aerotanks.com/vehicles/chevy.html

The first thing I installed after the hitch, was a TRANSFER FLOW aux tank/toolbox. Sits level with the bed rails. :B

Are you diesel or gas ??

If gas, I don't think you can add a tank to your bed. Believe it's illegal.

I have a diesel truck and added an RDS gravity flow combo fuel tank/tool box.

Nice and simple. It was the best mod I did to my truck. I got the 40 gal/toolbox combo and it does sit lower then the bed rails.

Northern Tool carries RDS tanks, or call RDS and ask for a dealer. I believe the RDS site shows more tanks then Northern Tool site does.

Try Titan Fuel tank. I have a 60 gallon on my truck. Took off the original OEM and put on the Titan in about 3 hours. Now I still have the truck bed for wood in front of the hitch and can travel a lot farther... https://titanfueltanks.com/

My Northern Tool had the 60 gal toolbox tank in stock, so no shipping ($100), I am using the gravity feed with an electric shutoff valve.

Think Transfer Flow is the gold standard.

Tim is right. We first need to know if you're running diesel or gas.
