And a sending unit?
Make sure the straps are also for a 31 gallon.

I have the sender that's in my 40 gallon burb tank...
Did you remember to make a plan for the upper cradle for the tank?
What Mark did won’t exactly work for a shortbed. Longbeds have a longer flat area of frame behind the wheel wells to work with, shortbeds are dealing with the frame curve toward the front half of the tank.
Some square tube, angle iron and hardware is all you need.

Skid plate?
Will the 40gal sender work in the 32gal tank? I thought the 40gal tank was an inch deeper.
If it were me, I would buy a new sender. All my older stuff the gas gauge is way off and I'm assuming a new sender would help with that. The crew cab is off by 1/4 tank.
You can mount the tank and the skid without a welder if needed. My first K5 tank was mounted with two pieces of square tube (top of the tank to rest against) and two pieces of angle iron for the skid to mount to.
wasting your time trying to make that 40 fit under a shortbed IMO
there's a crossmember in there.
IMO you can put the burb tank in the bed or you can buy a 31 that fit's under the ass.
Yeah, forward of the axle isn't as clear as you think and it doesn't take much to get close to the driveshaft. I was going to drop my spare tire down about a foot through the bed just behind the tool box and I realized that wouldn't work. You would just have to mount the tank entirely in the bed.
Small update...
Neighbor really wanted to fab up something to delete the evaporator box on the firewall, so he has that and is working on it. No pics yet...
Snagged a GM relay and fuse assembly from a super nice mid nineties Buick in the junk yard. Super nice until someone plowed into the back of it...
6 relays and either 12 or 16 maxi fuses, I think it will fit nicely under the hood. More importantly it will allow for future electrical upgrades to be done safely...
