I'm gonna basically do the same thing as vin63 and PGSigns. I'm using the original short filler tube that the cap attaches to and let the rubber grommet hold the tube and cap assembly in place. The grommet holds it pretty tight; don't think there will a problem. I might use a hose clamp around the tube behind the grommet just in case and also cap off the interior end of the tube.
I patched in a square filler door assembly from a 70's truck for the bed side. I think it will look factory. I did have to notch the bed wood and interior bed side to allow the filler tube to align with the filler port and tank. I'll fab a rounded 45 degree cover to place over the tube. See the circled area in the pic. (It wasn't notched at that point in time.)
