My '64 short fleet had the filler behind the tail light when I got it. The light wasn't hinged but rather, it had thumb screws that you removed and just pulled the light assembly out. It could be that mine was just poorly plumbed but, with the plumbing going down the post, then having to go horizontal between the bed and frame to get to the tank, you had to spoon feed the fuel in. It was a HORRIBLE setup. I removed the whole thing and put the tank back behind the seat where it belongs.
