I built this deck for my 01 f350. It's not a C&C truck, so the tank is up behind the cab.
Now, my options are;
1- cut the strap rail, and fab up a little plate to mount the filler neck to, which is probably easiest all around. Question is, will the filler neck have enough fall to the tank to consistently fill,or will it end up being a pain in the ass?
2- cut the actual side rail, and set the filler neck back into the rail. This will have a little more fall than option #1, still not sure if it's enough. I would put a hole through the outside wall of the main side rail, weld a piece of pipe inside to keep crap from getting into it, and poke the filler neck out the back side on a bit of an angle.
3- poke it up through the deck up against the front wall. This will definitely provide enough fall, but takes away some of the deck. Could be a real bitch to fill if I have the tall sides on for firewood/travel/etc...or if I put a slide on camper on it. I'd probably bring it up to the height of the square, solid wall below the headache rack portion.
Any thoughts or insite?
