I think that one will still work.

It would be easy to check. Take your side light out the next time you fill up and see how difficult it is to get the nozzle in there. I've been filling mine this way for almost 3 months and haven't had one problem.

I have seen this mod done up close and personal and the angle is just super tight to get the nozzle in there with out mareing up the paint in some form or fashion. The ones I have seen completed used a modified gas door of of a S10. I wonder how well the cabinet hinge would work on the tail light? Might be able to get a better approach possibly.

I haven't had any problems filling it, but maybe the FL nozzles are made differently. The same concept should work with the tail light without any problem. The only problem with going the taillight route, you have to cut some of the bed supports out in order to route a fuel filler hose. I will probably play with this concept on my Crewcab since it isn't painted yet.

Thanks.

I don't think they make a cap like that, that would be small enough to fit in the small area.

That one uses a door lid off of a later model truck. Same concept, but it doesn't use the original side marker holes.

No specs on the bends by chance?

Two 1" bends front each end to form a "C". You want to leave approximately 2" in the middle. The middle dimension should equal the depth of the tail light pocket. I initially used an "L" bracket, but decided to go with the "C" bracket to add more support to the mounting point.

Are you saying it would get scratched from the light or the fuel nozzle?
