I just installed a Boyd's tank under bed in my 70 c10 short bed.

I would rather have done some fancy fab work and had a filler in the stake pocket in the top of the bed or side of the bed. But I ended up buying a gas filler door assembly for a 2012-2014 f250 ford truck. One of the aluminum gas doors mostly for decorative purposes. But it was large enough to easily get my large hands in and remove gas cap.

We were able to trim and dolly down the ridges in the metal floor of the bed to make it sit almost flush.

It wasn't bad to install. Just a little 3/8's hard fuel line run along the frame with some rubber on each end to join it with the factory hard line in the front as well as a 90degree barb fitting on the front of the Boyd's tank.

I also used the little mounting bracket from Boyd's. Basically a thick flat of steel with 3 mounting holes threaded in along with bolts and rubber sheets to go between tank and frame for isolation.

I bought the Boyd's tank with electronic pump provision just in case I ever go LS and need a in tank pump.


I just filled it up for the first time yesterday. Filling in the bed was just as easy as anything else. Just have to take a second to let the fuel drip out the nozzle and then carefully turn the nozzle over as you pull it over the bed side. No big deal.
