I installed a poly tank in the rear on a 71 SWB and put the filler in the wheel tub. No problem with install.

My new tank just got delivered to the office this morning. Thanks, WES! Sending unit is on it's way. I'm interested in the wheelwell filler idea. Tell me more! What size fuel line did you run, by the way?

Wow, thanks for the pics! That looks doable. What did you use for the filler neck, the one from the cab?

It is a marine filler. I think it was $15.00 at the local boat shop.

Thanks again, just got back from boat shop. Ordered the filler, will be here next week. Boat shops are a little hard to find in Tucson.
