Larger replacement fuel tanks for gas trucks

I had a larger replacement tank on my 03 Dodge Cummins which made it nice for traveling.
I’m seriously considering a gas truck and like the Ram Hemi but with a 32 gal tank range is limited.
I’m researching the new Ford 7.3 and you can get an optional tank around 50 gal.
The tank manufacturers don’t list a tank for a gas truck so I’m wondering if they don’t make one and if there is a reason because of gas vs diesel.
  • That is what am resigning myself to for my Sub, but getting the spare out of the rear storage enticing. The first GM Hummer had a very nice rear tire carrier and will either look for junk yard, or just copy and make my own

    Pic of my 1973 K5 Blazer before modifying the rear tire/Jerry Can rack and had changed out the main OEM 22 gallon tank for a 54 gallon aftermarket. Don't have a picture of that with 4 Jerry Cans, but this pic gets the idea of how it looked. Turned those cans 90*

  • I have a Ram 1500 with the 26 gallon tank and looked into upgrading to their 32 gallon tank. The process was arduous, if you wanted the electronics to match the new size. I've decided it's just easier to carry gas cans.
  • At 26 gallons, I’m jealous of your size OEM gas tank.
  • My insurance broker says he can NOT insure a larger aftermarket gasoline tank anymore. Company rules. Just a few aftermarket OEM's and only diesel

    He did insure my 1973 Blazer's 54 gallon after market main tank, but that was then

    Was just curious if there was a larger after market for my Suburban's OEM 42 gallon
  • I’m looking for one to replace the factory fuel tank.
