Default Location of Nitrous bottle?

Where does everybody have their nitrous bottle in their trucks? I really don't want to mount the bottle in the bed just wondering if anybody has it behind their seat and what size bottle will fit behind the seat. I have had nitrous before on my old car so I know i will need a blow down tube putting it in the cab. BTW it is a 2000 sierra single cab.

i have a 10 lb bottle but it is a little longer and skinnier than most 10 lb bottles. it fits perfect behind the passenger seat and the seat can still go all the way back.

I forgot who it was that their bottle went off on them in the truck, but the story sure was funny. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
