I think it would be cool to do one like that, but dual out the rear end with the 10 lug alcoa wheels. I'm glad I got to see all the pics even though I've already seen the truck. I still think it's just really cool... Even if it doesn't SHINE!!! Haha

Yes its 16 inches. I picked up a short bed tank at the junk yard for $100. The inlet is in the center of the tank instead of the end like the long bed tank. That is the difference. Another thing you might look in to is thishttp://www.diperformancetransmissions.com/dicoprfuliki.html
since you will have to cut the fuel lines down anyway and modify the pump pick up tubes and the float, or you can get a tank pick up assembly for a short bed tank too. I went the cheap route and modded mine but you have to do something because a long bed tank is deeper.

Wow man this thing is badass! I've been thinking about starting a new project lately, and have been wanting a PSD, maybe I'm gonna have to make me one of these. I was wondering about the drive shaft though, did you have to modify the original one or was there another model that had one that would work?
