I have seen people make their own using the stock fuel filler door hinge and a self contained LED light assembly for much less. It just takes a little fabrication work.

Thanks kennyw for sharing this with me ,, I am not able to do any fab work as I now have no more work shop , ,down sized.. I figured I could do the little cutting that is required with the change with the tail light gas filter,, but that's about it..

My side tanks are taken out and the fuel doors are both gone,,welded over all painted and nice. ,,and right now I am filling the gas tank that is under the rear of the bed ,,, I have no spare tire under my truck ..by getting on my knees and filing it over the back side of the rear tire into the filler pipe . people give me a puzzeled look seeing me stick the gas hose in there to fill my tank,, I feel it safer than having side tanks ,, and also not behind the seat like the 65 and 71 I had .
