  If you don't mind giving up some bed space, farm and fleet
type stores sell a gas tank that goes at the front of a pickup
bed. Now, its actually for transporting gas and fueling
equipment, you're not supposed to tie it in to your gas tank,
but I'm sure it has been done. I suppose you could just
leave it disconnected and use it to fuel your truck with a
standard nozzle - just top off your tank every few days in
the driveway in the morning. :-)

  You could get some serious capacity that way - 200 gallons
or so, but on the flip side, in the event of an accident,
that's a heck of a lot of explosive material to have sitting
a foot behind you!
