my filler neck also comes out of the bed but just below the wood, still in the bed exterior wall w/ a somewhat D or oval hole cut there. the filler neck you see in the photo is the very same one i took off the cab passenger side of my 51. i made a plate (very carefully) and drilled three holes (one hole is above the wood) to mount it to the bed outside wall. i cut off & welded the overflow hose up as well as welded the now 180 degree inverted filler to the plate i made. i added a 2'' piece to connect the gas hose to as well as the new tank.

be sure you ground the tank & sender to a good frame &/or cab ground. grin
