need cool looking fuel cap inside bed

Hey guys,
I am putting a fuel cell under my bed. I need a cool looking cap to put in the bed floor. I dont want to do the tailight or stake pocket thing. Going to keep it simple and put it in the steel bed floor. Maybe even in the back of the wheel tub (not too sure how safe that might be though). But i want something cool looking. Do any of our vendors carry anything? Any ideas or pics would be appreciated. Thanks Rich

Boat shops has bunches they can order for you. Fancy all what your wallet can handle. You can also search the internet for fuel fillers under boats.

Re: need cool looking fuel cap inside bed

Can't remember the cost but like kgt sasid, I'm sure it was under 25 bucks. Some of them are plastic and the one I got was steel. The first one I got was plastic and I didn't use it after a friend picked this one up for me.
