It will not work. The bumper sets too low. You would be trying to pump gas up hill. The cars can do it because the rear bumper is higher than the top of the gas tank. On a truck the rear bumper is lower than the top of the gas tank so you would be trying to pump the gas up hill. WES

It will work if you use a different tank. See the attached thread and pics.
