Look at sgtusmc build for an innovative solution, hid it with an ammo box.

Re: s10 swap guys: gas fill necks?
I have read through that thread and many others on this site and havent found anything i like. I dont want to put it in the bed because i think it looks unfinished and when my truck is done it will have a nice paintjob so i dont want to scratch it all up when filling up the truck. My grandpa plans to drive this everyday so it has to be very useable, very dependable, and not going to destroy a bedside

Re: s10 swap guys: gas fill necks?
If you could route it via the stake pocket that would be cool. If it were me, I'd plug all the stake pocket holes smooth. and make a flip door above one of the stake pockets and recesse the filler in there. It would be a lot of fabbing, but might turn out killer in the end. This might be something I'll do someday.

Re: s10 swap guys: gas fill necks?
This is how I'm planing on doing it.

Re: s10 swap guys: gas fill necks?
I am using the original filler neck and location using 1 1/2" fuel hose from original filler to tank. I used a 96 s10 frame leaving the tank in its stock location welded original filler neck on tank closed and welded a new neck on the front of the tank as high as possible. Drilled a hole in the cab floor installed a grommet and passed the hose through to the tank. Hope this makes sense.

Re: s10 swap guys: gas fill necks?
I don't know how he did it. I'll be figuring it out on my own. But I'm going to use my original filler neck.
