You can get new manufactured replacement tanks, just google around a bit. Or you could find one in a junk yard and spend all that time swapping in one that may leak in a few years.

i do not know where you are located, but most yards around here, told me they had to punch holes in the tanks, that was a few years ago, when i was looking for an efi tank for my 84 4 runner, jc whitney had them brand new for $750, back then, have you tried them.
Try here. Either post in the forum or email them. Make sure you specify your exact year and bed length.

What is the US vehicle tank that will fit where the spare tire goes? It mostly fills the space, and is common as dirt.
Would an '84 and up fit? I doubt it.
4WD Systems | Fuel Tanks | Gear to Goannawhere
Of course there is the issue of shipping it here from Australia.
This place lists them for RN/LN46 and RN/LN65 chassis Hilux trucks. What does your VIN # start with?

Again, down in AU.

BTW I was googling with "long range fuel tanks hilux" without the quotes as the search string.
Edit: Here in the USA they have to crash test any new tank for a vehicle so you don't see long range tanks. There isn't the demand to overcome the costs of the testing. In AU there is enough demand, but I under stand there are now increased regulations for newer vehicles.
