Fuel Tank Relocation ?'s

Hey there, So I know about relocating a blazer tank and the custom fuel tanks that go where the spare tire goes.....those people that have done that, what are you doing for the filler? Trap door, flush mount filler? Also who has done a fuel cell (like you would get at Jegs, or Summit)in the bed, or below the bed? Lastly.....for those of you in California that have done the fuel tank mod, how is it filling up at the gas stations? Is a total pain with those new nozzles they have? I have a 77 c10 shortbed that I am getting ready to work on and don't want to shoot myself in the foot. Thanks! Double thanks for pics lol

I used Jeff's (thanks, Jeff!) idea for the filler, but I used an aluminum fuel cell from Summit and fabricated a cradle from 1" steel square tubing. Fits and looks good to me.

Cool link!!! Thanks! I really hadn't thought about the plastic fuel cells and I like how clean it came out. Now I gotta get my butt in gear and do some ordering and installing.
