Re: Fuel door pics
Not a bed fill but another idea. If it was my truck I'd do it this way but on the drivers side of the truck.

Re: Fuel door pics
Metaldoc's idea is what I'll be doing if I move the tank from the cab. I think it is great!

Re: Fuel door pics
I don't know if you have a fleetside or a stepside, I have a stepside that I'm going to install a rear tank. If you go to Hagan street rod necessities they have pictures of flip open fuel doors. I'm installing one on the inside of the box just below rear fender line so that the fuel pipe will be running straight down behind the fender to the tank. It should be an easy fill being only about 10" from the tailgate.

Re: Fuel door pics
Is it easy or a pain to fill up? Im about to mount my tank but was thinking about bringing it back closer to the tailgate, just more work to do so and not sure if its worth it, and changes weight distribution...also would you happen to know the size hole you cut in the bed to fit that filler/cap? I actually just ordered the same one earlier today and would love yo be able to move forward without it here yet

Re: Fuel door pics
No problems filling at all. I like it. I do carry a rag with me. Drop tailgate, cover the end of the nozzle until over the fill hole. Pump 10 gallons or so that will be gone in 60 miles lol. Got to love BBCs. mine is a POL tank. About a foot from the tailgate to the filler neck
I think I ended up cutting an 1 1/2" hole. Even though I needed 1 7/8" I think. I couldn't figure out how to get dead center of the hole. So I cut small then took dremel tool and finished the rest. Buddy of mine had a good idea. But we didn't do it. Set truck up so it doesn't move. Hang plumb bob from ceiling. Center in the hole you need to cut. Raise it. Put bed on. Drop it. Bingo.
