both my truck and the trailer are 3/4 ton rated which is 187 gallons so
neither should carry more than 200 gal. the beds are designed to carry
full sheets of plywood which are 8x4 feet, the measurement between the
wheel wells. the full width of the bed, if an inflatable tank is used, is
about 2 inches shy of 6 feet so either will hold the 250 or 300 gal bags. 

I also know where to get an endless supply of food grade 55 gal blue
drums.
