WTT. Bed fill Boyd Welds tank for Side Fill Boyd Welds tank

I bought my tank with the intent of doing a bed fill. After purchasing the tank (3 months later) I came across another truck with better body that I wanted to use... it already has a side fill. So.... either I need to buy a new tank from Boyd Welds or I can find someone that would like to swap. So my search begins..... Anyone out there have a side fill that would like to trade for a bed fill?

Here is a pic of my tank. I have driven the truck twice and it does have fuel in it right now. Everything works perfect. If you are local and you want the $50 in gas in it... you can have it. I just need this quick so I can actually drive my truck.

why not just put an elbow on the tank you have? It's what I did.

They have reducing ones, if you need it. I used an F350 fill neck, which was 2"

Did the 2" fit over the filler neck on the tank just fine? I measured mine and it was 2 1/4". Also... In the f350 fill tube isn't the end of it rubber? How did you connect it to the 90? Thanks for posting this up...it gives me hope to resolve this soon.

I used a 21/4" to 2" elbow. 2" stainless exhaust tube to a 2" coupler to a F350 fuel filler neck. The filler neck's steel.
