The original tank in the rear is an 18 gallon unit. Your not likely to find one. There are rebuilders that clean and recoat using the retinning OEM materials. This is one that I am aware of:

www.restoration-resources.com/GasTank.htm

A tank from a Ford Van E-350 - late 80's, 1 ton van tank is the same height, width as the stock PW tank, but goes the full length between the frame rails. They have been used by some and fit perfectly using the stock holding straps. You have to grind the square edge of the top straps so they fit nicely in the stamped ridges in the tank. The filler hole has to be relocated, but would significantly increase the amount of gas you can carry.
