The only way you could have a flip down plate for a filler is if you have the tank hanging down below the frame like in the photo above.
The pinto only blew up becouse the bumper was pretty much the only thing between the tank and the car slamming into it.

I used a summit 16 gal. fuel cell (got the idea off another board member) and the mounting strap kit that they sell with it. I think the part # was like 290100 or something similiar. Just had to take the old tank out of the cab and got rubber fuel line from a local parts store, ran it back to the cell, ran the sending unit line back to the sending unit in the cell and was ready to go. Pretty simple install and plenty of ground clearance in the stock-height 67 step. Just watch out where your exhaust runs out b/c you may have to weld in a plate or re-hang part of your exhaust to keep the two from touching. Hope this helps.
