Trying to do something similar. Only I bought a kit to go through the tail light. I have the tank in but it has a vertical Phil the ones that go through the bed. Still scratching my butt as to how I'm going to get a hose over to that fill. Not sure if there's going to be enough room between the bed and the frame rail to get a hose over to the vertical Phil. I know I'm going to need an elbow on that Phil. But wondering about the space between the bed and the frame rail in that corner area of the bed. I have the bed but I'm only one guy so it's difficult to put on and off with a cherry picker but I guess that's what I'm going to need to do. Or look at a complete truck.

Did you get a new tank or using one from a Blazer? I got a new one and it is a side mount fill inlet. It was really tuff to get in. The truck required some cuts and welding to get it into place.

@@thackerbrossandbox1031 put a new tank in it wasn't a brand name that I know of it came with a fitech fuel injection. Didn't like the frame Mount pump filter was going to be noisy and read a lot about it actually being noisy so I put a pump in the tank. All-in mounted and fuel lines ran filtered Etc. But then I saw the tail light fill and like everything else I bought it and we'll figure out how it works when I get there. I'm envisioning that it's probably going to be a slow fill up.

@@jimmysapien9961 that's the one we used. It is a tight fit between the bed and the frame. We did cut one of the frame rails and welded it back up to give it some strength back. We had a harder time with the vent. You really need to make sure it get higher than the fill hose.

I will need to look at what I cut out of the video. I didn't really have in mind to make it a how to video. I may be able to answer some of your questions.
