fuel filler behind tailight question

[henry3rd]

Hello guys,
I am going to do an under the bed tank conversion and want to put the filler behind the tailight.To those of you that put the fuel filler behind the tailight, Did you use a filler neck from a donor vehicle? Did you make your own? Did you vent the tank right behind the brake light?

Thanks,

great question I'm wanting to do this to. I saw it done in one of the truck mags. but they never gave a step by step.

Thanks Killer,
He told me that he cut the cap threaded end off a late model filler neck and
welded it to a piece of exhaust pipe he had bent for the installation.Still
not sure how i want to do the vent though..

its already just below the cap on the filler neck why notleave it there?

I used the filler off the S-10 that I got the fuel filler door from. The tank vented into the filler near the top.

This thread helped me a lot when I did mine. I did mine on a fleet, but most of the things in this thread still apply: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ad.php?t=77104
