http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm See the 55/6/7 tank in the above link.
Someone on here recently lifted body from a Clipper. same person had a Chevy tank. The pic of frame after body removed showed where previous owner had notched the frame. Otherwise the tank fit just fine. I can't find the thread.
****Edit 12/01/09 NONETHELESS. Suppose the 55/6/7 Chev or Ford tank is used. Instead of cutting the frame, use an elbo welded to the short snout of the tank. Position the elbo so that it is pointing down toward the ground and weld or hose/clamp it in place.
Use another elbo welded or hosed and clamped to the open end of the first elbo. Weld or hose and clamp a Packard tank filler tube to the open end of the last elbo just installed.
The above description should get the routing of the filler tube circuit UNDER the frame. Same process could be used for the FORD tank. Will most likely require cutting the existing F or Chev tanks filler snout off closer to the tank before adding elbos.
OR to describe it another way:
THe elbos will resemble a kitchen sink drain trap. WHERE the tank is the sink, the 2wo elbos are the trap and the frame rail of the car passes thru the valley of the trap.
Will probably make filling gas tank a bit slow like filling a MoPar tank.

The vent is next if anyone considers this feasible.
