Bed Fill Gas Cap Pics ????
Anybody have pics of how you done your fuel filler with a bed fill tank with a steel floor instead of a wood floor? Thanks, Jason

Re: Bed Fill Gas Cap Pics ????
This is what I've done. I didn't want any thing on the bed floor just incase I wanted to haul something. I have the truck all disassembled now and I am doing the body this winter. I will the weld in the fuel door assembly into the box side. The bed floor will be done after I instal nolimit rear rail kit and c4 corvette rear suspension.

Re: Bed Fill Gas Cap Pics ????
You'll have to look close. Sorry for the lousy pic. It's from a late model suburban. 2" fill neck makes for no burbs on fill up!

Re: Bed Fill Gas Cap Pics ????
Hey guys, check out Project: Jezebel. Scott told me about it last night, I really like how he done his bed . I think this is the route I may go. When finished it looks like it would have came from GM that way!!! Keep posting ideas though, I like to see everybody's touch. The Jezebel pics are on page 12 of his build if anybody wants to check it out. Thanks, Jason

Re: Bed Fill Gas Cap Pics ????
Matt can you fit a 2" fill line in your setup or only a 1.5"..?

I bought my gas filler at a local marine dealership, cost me $35.00 and it's polished stainless steel too. same part LMC/classic parts,etc... sells for $70.00 so, keep that in mind.... looks just like the one in post #18

I transition from 1.5" to 2" just after the filler neck. Initially I ran 1.5" hose to the tank, but it filled really slowly and was prone to spilling gas out the cap when filling. I swapped to 2" and it hasn't been a problem since.

Re: Bed Fill Gas Cap Pics ????
Might not be what you're looking for but we relocated the tank on my dads truck and he used the stock fuel filler location. Just ran a line from the cab back to the tank. Here are a couple pics

Re: Bed Fill Gas Cap Pics ????
Thanks for that. I like your setup, it leaves most of the bed usable. Does yours have a vent line going up close to the filler.?

Re: Bed Fill Gas Cap Pics ????
My tank has a rollover vent installed on the top. That seems to allow enough air into the tank when it's filling.

Re: Bed Fill Gas Cap Pics ????
I like the way you think! The first pic shows how I went through the bed cross rail. The finished product was slightly different, but you get the idea. Sorry the pics somehow got rotated.

Re: Bed Fill Gas Cap Pics ????
I went this way. It sort of matches the look of the bed bolts.
