Need pictures of bedside fillet doors, even in progress
I'm about to start my tank relocation project on my truck.
I plan to use a side fill tank and have the filler door on the bed side behind the wheel opening. I know many have done this, so I'm hoping there are a bunch of pictures, showing where to cut for the filler tube, and where it come up into the bed. I scored a filler tube cover out of a newer Blazer, so I won't have to fabricate that to make it look right. I'll post some pictures of what I have and where I plan on putting them to get, some advice from the experts Last edited by custom10nut; 04-26-2017 at 09:22 PM. |

The thread is supposed to say "bedside filler". Damn auto correct

Re: Need pictures of bedside fillet doors, even in progress
Thanks, I'm watching. What diameter is the filler outlet on the Blazer tank kits? The piece on the door that I got is 2"OD. I'm thinking I can get a muffler shop to fab me one to adapt to the right size.
Did you go with hard line for the whole pipe or do you have a portion of rubber tube? |

I am sure others on the site will have better ideas than I do. There is a lot of talent on this site. Well beyond my knowledge base. Sounds to me like you've got it figured out though... Good Luck!!! |

Re: Need pictures of bedside fillet doors, even in progress
not in the right location and I don't have details other than it was sitting next to the orange/black Overhaullin truck at Brothers a few years ago - snapped a pic because it was done very well (truck and filler door). Not sure what it's off of, but an idea pic anyway. Sorry - no tech details, just a pic. I never really liked the aluminum doors, and this isn't period, so that's why I have wheelwell fillers... But these do look good when done well. I thought this one looked right at home.

Re: Need pictures of bedside fillet doors, even in progress
88-98 silverado/sierra and the tahoe/burb and their twins all used the same door along with the 2nd gen S10s. It's about the best one I've seen to use. As mentioned, it has the "finger hole" (giggity) it's relatively flat to match the contours on both a step and fleet side truck. I have one on my stepside and I cut one out for my fleet project (haven't installed it yet.)
This is "gringolocos" truck, I'm going to copy his location for mine: ![]() This is my stepside:

Re: Need pictures of bedside fillet doors, even in progress
That's the door I'm using too. Did you have to cut you inside bed panel to make room for the hinge? I've measured and I'm thinking I don't have to, but many pictures I've seen, guys have cut it out. But there are many different doors so maybe they needed to

Re: Need pictures of bedside fillet doors, even in progress
There's enough room for the hinge but you have to cut the inner bedside for room for the fill tube

Re: Need pictures of bedside fillet doors, even in progress

Re: Need pictures of bedside fillet doors, even in progress
Yup, you can do that too, but my 67 doesn't have side markers
![]() There's also a rear taillight fill, I think there might even be a kit available now??
