As far as gear in the bed, heavy things go to the front, light things in the rear. Simply lift out of the way, fill with gas, and replace. Not too hard to do, unless you are moving gravel.
I don't know about "smooth and shave everything" cause I'm NOT shaving anything, BUT I'm not building a 55 year old classic truck to haul anything but a few miscellaneous items from Home Deopt and certainly not anything truly heavy or gnarly like gravel.

So, even though I think a fuel filler behind the license plate or behind a door in the fender would probably look best, that does represent a lot of planning, cost and work rather than just putting it through a finished oak floor with a polished stainless cap. I think that looks very nice. Just my $.02
