fuel cell access through bed
For those of you with fuel cells mounted UNDER the bed between the frame rails , what are you using for access to fill er up!!
I don't want to just cut a rectangular hole in the bed and attach some hinges and it look messed up Is there a plate I can purchase to weld into the bed floor? Something preferably locking to prevent fools from messing with my tank |

Re: fuel cell access through bed
So it looks like there is a plate that was welded and the door mounted to the plate. Then work around the factory ribs.
Thank you for the link as well. I like the look of that a little better |

Re: fuel cell access through bed
The work done to the bed floor is what makes that look so nice. cutting a hole and mounting the door is a no brainer. very nice work.

Re: fuel cell access through bed
I'd like to do a blazer or suburban tank on my C20 and then run the filler forward to the door in my utility bed just behind the wheel well. Anyone do this? Or I could put the filler in one of the boxes I guess but that might be awkward.

Re: fuel cell access through bed
Might look at these as well. They aren't as easy for anyone just walking by to open.
I have one in my 76. http://www.ridetech.com/store/coolca...l-gas-cap.html |
