I cut down the original filler neck nearly flush with the backside of the rear quarter panel and welded the bolt-in flange to the neck to keep it place since I was running such a tall tire.
Ahaha you are correct, I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention. Originally I was wanting to do something similar to what you did with having the original filler cap just for looks, but the chrome wasn't in the best shape so I just welded a patch in the hole. Looks pretty clean IMO
