Tennman-

Did you have to modify anything to get the fuel filler door in your fleetside? Looking at mine I wasn't sure if I could get the fuel filler neck inside the side, wasn't sure if I would have to add a little pocket inside the bed to give me clearance.

Anybody that knows and wants to answer fire away.

Yes you do have to modify the inside of the bed. You can extend your rear stake pocket and that makes it look almost stock. Here is a link to where I posted the instructions that Tennman emailed me: http://www.classicheartbeat.com/mark...t_gas_door.htm

Thanks Wes, that is what I thought I would have to do, just didn't want to do any cutting if there was a way to fit it all in there.
