suggestions-metal container to haul in bed that won't look out of place
I'm looking for suggestions for a container that I could haul in my bed at all times to hide a fuel filler near the rear stake pocket. I saw someone mentioned an old jerry can in another thread. Anymore ideas? I basically want to run a fill pipe up from the floor and place the container around the pipe to stealth it. Looking for someone vintage-esque.

Cut the bottom out of an old ammo can.
The type with the tension lock. Leave a narrow flange in the bottom and screw it down so it looks like its just sitting there. Flip lid to access fuel fill.

Re: suggestions-metal container to haul in bed that won't look out of place
This is funny only because I've disguised things in the past. I had a convertable vw rabbit. I kept my things in an old beat up vacuum cleaner. It looked like total crap but from that experience I learned that nobody want a beat up ugly vacuum cleaner.
You could use a bunch of things. Old coffee can etc... I like that ammo box idea. Spare tire? Be creative and go with what you like. Posted via Mobile Device

A left rear mount spare on a custom mount with the fill pipe 90* coming through the center of the tire.
