I was curious if anyone knows the diameter of the hole that is left in the cab once one removes the filler neck and factory grommet?

I had also considered welding in a "dummy" filler neck so I could put on the stock gas cap and give the appearance of a stock truck from the outside. Has anyone ever done this? Stupid idea?
I like your simple, highlighted suggestion above: just install a locking cap to avoid someone accidentally pumping gas thru the opening.
