Recent Progress! Pics Inside!

Hey Guys!

Just figured I'd do one of my updates for all of you who may be interested in how my truck is coming along!

She is getting big time close to being put on the road, down to some very minor electrical, some mild body work, and a few small odds and ends like shocks, a cone air filter for the throttle body, etc

My most recent major project that I tackled as installing a rear fuel door for the Suburban fuel tank I have between the frame rails out back. I had to cut out a peice of metal from the wheel tub, and a filler door from a junk box I had, then welded the filler door into the wheel tub. The plastic filler neck peice is originally from the Suburban, and the metal filler neck came from a late 80s Chev crew cab with a big wooden box out back. I personally think it should work great! There is a ton of clearance between the rear wheel and the hose, I'd be surprised if I had clearance issues, esspecially considering I have no intention of taking the truck offroad, and that it has a 1 ton suspension.

Here are a few pics of what I came up with -- What do you guys think? I still want to notch the bed crossmember so I can tuck the hose up into it and keep gas from settling in the elbow, and provide just that much more clearance.
