Unfortunatley there are no aftermarket tanks available for the crew cab..best thing to do is go to www.car-part.com and find 1 from there that is close by you..most yards wont ship them great distances

Thanks everyone...I did finally find a tank in a salvage yard in Maryland. They were willing to ship it...problem solved!
Apparently the plastic fuel inlet necks on these tanks were plastic welded to the tank itself and is not very reliable. The plastic neck came loose in my hand while removing fuel tank to replace fuel pump. Looked everywhere for a tank with no luck. Wound up ordering a 2" metal fuel inlet neck from a racing fuel cell company and mounting it to the tank where the old fuel neck came loose. Also had to order a 2" to 1.25" copper hose adapter to connect it all back together. Parts cost was less than $100 which is way better than a new tank that will have the same issue anyways.
