Thanks.....its not too extremely hard....but it is quite time consuming, though I'm sure I could save a few hours the next time around.....I probably had 5 or 6 days of labor in it......not including the stain & varnish....that took another 8 hours or so....but over the course of a week as I applied several coats and sanded in between coats....

Any idea if i could find one with a rear gas tank whole n the bed behind the tailgate or would it b best to fab it myself
No...I believe all Kits come with unfinished wood....Not sure about the rear tank filler but I would guess that you would need to locate yours yourself...as they are all mounted a little bit differently on each truck....
