I'd check your state motor vehicle inspection laws before you get too involved.

For example, from the State of NH Inspection Requirements:

(4) The fuel tank is not secured to the body or chassis or is located in a position that does meet the manufacturer’s specifications, except for a vehicle powered by propane, in which case the fuel tank may be located in the trunk;

It might be hard to convince the inspector that a fuel tank in the bed meets GM specs.
