Just finished doing this on my 70 C10 this weekend. The filler kit was also from New Creations and the instructions left a little to be desired to say the least. With everything cut out, it took us around 4-5 hours to get the kit to fit good and weld in place.
Had the same issue with the taillight lens, luckily I had some old lenses and we removed both tab and sanded the outer edges at the top and bottom to flush with the lens. That made the lens sit flush with the bed. In order to use a foam gasket we trimmed all the lip off the back.
How did you run the wires for the lights? I'm a little concerned about them flatting out too much when you tighten the lens down.
Also what are you using for a filler hose?
