Fuel Tank Filler Neck Hits Bed Rail

[Peanut74]

I agree that it is not as strong as orginaly was. But keeping it boxed does help keep it from flexing less than if I left it as a u channel. What I mean is that I'm not going to use it like a farm truck. I use it to haul small loads here and there. If I really wanted to maintain the original strength I could weld L angle to both sides. Just to lazy to sit down and do.the math.
