Fuel tank relocation without removing bed?

The kits I have seen for relocating the fuel tank involves removing the bed. Does anyone know if there is one where you can leave the bed in place?

You mean without removing any wood also?
I think maybe the Boyd Tanks units you could conceivably do it. Still have to locate the fill hole in the bed though, so you'd have to drop that tank a couple of times.

OK. I don't mind removing one or two pieces of the bed wood, just didn't want to lift the entire bed.

Thanks.

I relocated my tank under the bed using the Brothers Truck tank (top fill) without having to remove the bed. My bed floor is steel, so I REALLY did not want to have to remove the bed. It can be done.

This from Boyd Tank:
https://fueltankparts.com/collection...l-non-efi-tank

A little pricey, $417.00; and I'm sure I need to come up with the side fill spout, etc.

I already had a hole in the bed with a little door from a previous fuel cell that was installed. Boids are vary helpful and willing to customize the fill location.

Re: Fuel tank relocation without removing bed?

Here’s a photo of the door. I don’t really have any installation photos sense I installed it with the bed on it. If my bed is full I can’t fill the tank but I don’t really use my bed much anyway. Don’t want to scratch it and will bottom out if anything heavy is in there
