Stepside Fender Fuel Top Port using Boyd Welding side fill

Looking for a setup photo. My rear sidestep fender (driver) has an apparent cutout for remote fill. Hoping to see photos of similar using Boyd Tank

Thanks

Cool, a reverse light, a fuel fill and a spare tire indent.
The reverse light fenders are sought after.
I was thinking of putting twin spares on my truck with smaller hard covers like these - http://www.angelfire.com/fl5/tirecovers/
But that all went away.

yep. i really sought out the reverse light fenders.
these are essentially rust free now with a few pin holes and dings.
i am hoping the Boyd side fill tank would be a good choice with the fill on the top, back side of the fender. wanted to make sure how the side fill off the tank went between the top part of the frame and the underside of the bed. its a visual thing for me.. possible come up with a hard pipe 90 with a rubber hose connection to the fill? thoughts on the gas cap area and fittings that would be exposed?

I'm strongly considering putting a fill tube in the rear of the fender (not the top) for my bed fill tank. Will modify the fill tube on the tank though.

That is what mine has currently...but I am thinking of moving the tail lights there and putting the gas fill in the top of the fender.
