I used a filler neck cover out of a 80's model blazer to cover the filler neck in the bed.

It looks great. I don't have a pic of that but you'll see the result when you look at the way its used in the blazer.

I am a big fan of moving the tank to the rear. More room in the cab . The interior really opens up behind the bucket seats.

Good Luck

Very nice I like the round doors

I used a Perko filler cap that is vented to the tank for filling and to outside air for running (won't pull a vacuum)
I welded a ¼-20 nut inside my light housing and a fender washer outside. A ¼-20 bolt is my hinge.

The bulb housing was cut out of the lens frame; a back and bushings were welded in place. The bottom is slotted to route wires

This plate was welded in the stake pocket

A 1 ¾” piece of muffler pipe was bent to 90 with one end stretched to 2” to match the filler on my fuel cell. A piece of 1-1/2” muffler pipe was welded in the other end to match my filler neck.

A push/pull cabinet hinge was used to hold it closed and open it.


I’ll need to drop my FCG tank ~1” to keep filling downhill.


I still have some trimming to do and I’ll close up my stake pocket. I’ll also weld my 90 in to keep things from rubbing.

Wes that filler cap looks great, maybe i'll think about getting one.

Also per the taillight filler, it does require some trimming of the structural supports so if your going to hual stuff in the bed its something to concider also.
