Re: ClusterTruck; because that’s what it is

Winter came, and typical for here there were some warm days thru nov/dec

I knew I wanted a rear tank under the bed. I also knew I wanted a side fill so I didn't have to worry about having cargo in the bed.

I got a fuel door kit secondhand, but didn't like the door it came with. So I gutted the hinge and the closing mechanism and made it work for my side marker.

In hindsight, it would have been better to use a factory hinge assembly for this. What I did will work, but the after market piece isn't the stoutest thing. If it doesn't hold up I'll redo it.

I won't box in the backside of it until I really get to test it out. That should be fun. I guess I'll need to get good with the metal brake in the meantime.
