This is our own fuel cell set up. No mods needed to the body. You have to weld rails to the frame and make a basket that surrounds the cell which then bolts to the rails. Ours relocates the filler to the side but you can make it come out the factory hole with a cobra cap with the right fuel filler set up.

Today I have placed an order to Summit for a fuel cell.

If my mesurement are correct (i hope so....) the room under the body is roughly:
35"-1/2 x 17"-1/2 x 10"-1/2

Summit have a fuel cell of similar dimensions!

I will let you know if it will fit my 79 !
