LS swap fuel system setup

In the next week or so, i'm going to begin swapping a 4.8/4l60e into my '66 Stepside. I'd like to hear from folks who have done one of these lsx swaps and moved their fuel tank to the bed. I've done quite a bit of reading on the subject, but there are a couple parts I'm not clear on.

I don't mind having the fuel pump external to the tank, but what I dont' want is to have to have a fuel filler door in the middle of the nice wooden bed I plan to eventually install. Are there any aftermarket tanks that have a side fuel filler neck, or that leave enough room between the tank and the bed to put a 90 degree bend at the neck and run the filler from the rear fender area? I've also read that the tank needs to be baffled internally, but is that for internal fuel pumps only?

I'd love to see pics if you've got em!

Photobucket is messing with me, but here's a couple of shots of my truck when I brought it home.




Thanks!
