Forgot to address your question on fuel doors: These trucks never came with fuel doors. Gas tanks were all behind the seat and the filler neck came through the body on the driver's side. Lots of guys relocate the tanks to below the bed for space and for safety.
Many years ago I saw a piece on 20/20 about our trucks in accidents. The rubber connection from the filler neck to the tank neck would get rock hard over the years and tear easily in an accident spewing fuel on the occupants. Obviously, a horrendously dangerous thing. I will be relocating mine asap using the tank that Chuckdriver did on his '57. Check his build thread for the details.
