Re: fuel filler location - wheres yours?

I'm about to cut the hole for my fill in my bed floor. I went with that because of the cost to have the body shop install a filler door in my fender and also because of the cost and hassle(frankly) to run a filler pipe over to the fender properly.

So I ordered the Mustang style tank made for our trucks from Tanks, Inc. But my problem is the tanks fills the space between the frame rails but their filler pipe is NOT in the center of their tank and so not in the center of my floor! It is slightly to the driver's side.

Now I'm going to have to fabricate a SLIGHT "S" shaped filler pipe to move it about 1-1/2" toward the middle of the bed. If I don't do this I have to cut one of the polished stainless bed strips and the filler door would be partially on top of that strip. It'll just look lame!
