I can’t remember his user name on here at the moment. I know he is 19Bronco67 on instagram. Stole this from his pictures.

I heard back from Bob and he quoted me around $800 for a custome SS 18 gallon tank. Not sure what all that entails but I gave him a few pictures and requirements I am looking to have in a custom tank.
Things I want:
1) One or two internal baffles
2) optional intank fuel pump, top mount, I really like this one from WH https://www.wildhorses4x4.com/product/FiTech-In-Tank-Retrofit-Fuel-Pump-
Kit/EFI_Systems
3) bottom drain plug
4) bolt-on to frame, no J-strap
5) be able to use on a 1” body lift (nicer if I could get it to be adjustable)
I hope to hear back from Bob!

I have considered fiberglass, they don't bend well so if you expect a hit it may be a bad choice, but for a truck with limited offroad in mind maybe. +95% of the underground tanks that hold fuel for 30 years at the local Costco are made of fiberglass, you can baffle them and choose a resin that is compatible with the newest fuels. Stand off the bottom with a deflector plate could help impacts. easy to ground with a stainless/carbon steel ground strap.
