When I had my truck as a stepside last year I used the stock tank. As far as I knew the stepside version was just a different bed bolted on. If you have a different tank that may have been an owner change and not related to the stepside. The only thing that was different was the filler tube on mine but I had the one for the stepside bed I had.

Rectanglare custom tank. Not a fab job. This was done by a big company. The filler hose may have been changed from their setup. I'll try to post a picture a little later.

That looks like a stock tank to me. I think the filler hose is your issue but its hard to tell from your pic.

The painted one is my 72 the other was in the 76 I had

Looks like the stock tank to me too, my LUV has always had that problem fueling it.
