I was really hoping not to have to modify the body and get a tank that would allow for a rear/center fill that I could access via the flip-down tag bracket. Anyone have any advice/concerns that I should consider? Thanks all and really enjoy all the great comments I have found thus far.
Respectfully,

MSGROSS is correct. You have a couple options besides the bedfill and the stake pocket. You can go through the tail light which requires some modifications. Some guys do the filler through the side marker lights. All of the ones I have seen like this require some modifications too. I'm currently working on a sidemarker fill that will be "bolt-in" and not require any modifications to the bed itself.
