Fuel Filler Housing Design

[crazyjeenyus]

Hi All,

We're working on a '65 c10 father-daughter project and thought I'd include a drawing of the fuel filler housing we designed (see attached PDF below).

Please ignore the welds as our intent was only to tack the seams. We also installed it higher than the bed floor because we are going to install wood over top what is left of the original bed floor -I feel like if we take the bed apart, it will cost more than I want to invest to put it back together.

Because of this, we installed the Blazer-style fuel tank without removing the box. Here's a video link in case your interested in doing the same thing:
