Re: Fuel Tank Filler Neck Hits Bed Rail
When you say you won't be hauling anything 'really heavy', what weight do you consider that to be? Notching the bed support does remove it's strength. So if you were to hop in the bed & walk around putting your foot directly over that modified cross sill, it will flex. The support strength of the sill is in the height of the material. Capping it off doesn't add 'strength' to support weight. It adds strength for torsional flex/twist.
It's not a big deal if you remember to not step on that area or plop an all iron BBC there (which is how I know).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
