I want to put inside my stock new tank for 59 caddy but it's 13.5" deep. Says will work with 10" tank. Am I reading this wrong?

I personally would consider using an OEM gm fuel bucket and use the vetteworks kit. Use the 6.0 fuel bucket from the SS truck,
You may be able to grab a used truck tank, cut pump mount out and fab it into your caddy tank. That caddy looks like a cool project!

I have the B4 that I fabbed into their 55 Buick tank. I haven't run it yet so no use experience. I think the pump itself is a generic one that I see used a lot in swaps.
On the height/depth, Tanks has a recess "box" that you can weld in place and should get you a couple of inches maybe. It keeps the fittings below they top of the tank too. I only used about an inch of the box for my set up.

I have this setup in my car. It still runs out of fuel if it is under 1/2 tank and you stand on it or go around a corner fast. I followed the instructions to the letter, but the design doesn't really keep the fuel in the tray like you'd think because of the various bolt holes etc... I think if you welded he tray to the upright or somehow sealed everything to the upright, you'd be good.

It amazes me that people don't want to use the OEM fuel bucket that GM designed that engine to use... A fuel pump's life is extended when it doesn't suck air and is cooled (OEM bucket does this). The OEM bucket has a built in fuel pressure regulator (1 less item to buy).

Fuel pump One thing good about using an OEM in tank pump is that if it takes a dump while on a trip there is a replacement right around the corner.
With the TANKS in tank pump I think the tray is as big as it can be and still fit into the tank.
