Have you looked into manufactured fuel cells from Summit Racing or Jegs ? You might also want to try marine supply stores. They can get different custom size aluminum tanks from their suppliers. The only issue is if you can get a 15 or 20 gal tank in there with minimal fab. I've got a '77 1/2 ton 4X4 with the tank between the rails. I'm not familiar with the tank setup on a 3/4 ton, but are there any obstructions to where you couldn't get a replacement tank from a 1/2 ton in there ? LMC truck carries these tanks, I belive. They can probably give you dimensions on it but they have no tech support there - LMCTruck.com

i think a tank from a suburban or blazer could be refit into the chevy trucks with minimal work specially if you could get the forwrd crossmember from the blazer. Redbeast where did you find a 77 with inboard fuel tank that cant be stock? never seen a chevy from 77-87 with anything but outboard fuel tanks

No matter what you do, that is a big project and surely will require time and fab.
Be sure and let us know what you end up doing though!
