To my knowledge, there is no difference between the 2wd and 4wd gas tanks, but a check of part numbers would confirm it. There. IS a difference between the long and short bed fuel tanks, as the short bed seldom got the 35 gallon gas tank. I used the smaller 26 gallon short bed gas tank to fit the shortened frame, since I started with a long bed, single cab truck.

Like you said though, anything is possible when you build these. It only comes down to how you choose to solve the problems that come up.

For the fuel door, Hagen Industries and a few others offer several options for custom fuel filler doors. I just chose to use the Ford F-150 door because I had it on hand and felt like saving $135. For simple things like this, I like to try to work with what I have and save my money for things I need, like cab corners.
