How hard is it (if possible) to take out the tank I have on the pass. side and get a different one that is made for the drivers side and put it in? I want a bed that has the gas door on the drivers side but will have to do something with the tank. Is it doable?

What do you mean a tank made for the driver's side? The originals and original style replacement tanks are the same side for side. You will have to get the driver side tank mounts (two of them), a set of tank straps and the filler hose and vent tube that mount to the bed, these are different side for side. Where are you getting the bed that has the driver's side tank filler door? You may be able to get your parts there or get them with the bed.

One tip......if you change anything to do with your tanks then GM is not liable if you get hit and burn to the ground.........on the other hand= Like it would matter to you if you were a crispy critter anyway!
