I got as far as making a "door" out of the rear marker light...but it is way too tight a space to get a filler nozzle in it here in Calif. Great idea, just not at all practical here. I ended up turning the filler neck around, and locating it inside the bed instead. I am going to try and use a stock Blazer filler from our years to make it look a little more stock.

I always thought that looked pretty sweet.
This is what I was talking about when I said bed fill...

Re: Marker light fill w/ rear tank?

I am trying to do the side marker light fill mod to my stepside, and I am having alot of trouble adapting the door.... It either hits the fender when the light is striaght when you open it or it does not fit in the light pockeet in the fender.

Can someone post better pics of how/where the light mounts to the modded door and where the holes are drilled on the door hindje to mount it..

Thanx
Trevor

Re: Marker light fill w/ rear tank?

Tank is has been in for awhile, but just getting around to the filler. I still have the box off, and have to move that box brace. I thought it would be easier to do now.

IT RUNS THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
