Cool idea for Recessed gas filler F-1 (pics)

saw a Cool idea from a 50 F1 today at a local car show Its for the recessed gas filler under the bed. I wished I had talked to the guy (Phil Dahl I think from Provo, UT.) , but had my 3 and 5 year old with me & they were done after wandering the swap area and seeing everything at least twice! they did pretty good though.
looks like some sort of custom hinge setup?
check out the pics, have any of you seen this before or know of a similar hinge assembly- I could see myself doing one like that.

First off great pics of the kids. Cant wait to have some of my own you know. If I am remembering correctly that is a truck that is in a classic truck article this month or very recently. I thought it was a neat set-up also but am going a different route with my truck. If I did put the tank under the bed (instead of in it) thats the way I would do it.

Hinge Kit

I've seen the kit advertised; it is a tidy install but expensive.

I'd like to have my filler penetrate the bed rear crossmember just under the tailgate. I need to wait until I mount box, hopefully there will be room.

It looks like a pain in the ass, but then again I fill my truck twice a week.
It's nice for a garage or trailer queen.

Sorry, I don't think it is that nice. If yo carry anything in the back, looks like a pain to me. I saw better ways from the guys on this forum....

good points as far as a pain accessing it for fuel when you have anything in the bed. Tom I like your idea, keep us posted on the progress for that install.

Fuel door

When reading the new two classic truck mags, one had a fuel door inside the bed on the side. The under the bed tank fuel filler does a u-turn in the back of the wheel well into the bed and through a standard size fuel door(inside the bed). Looks easy and clean install. Have a great day, chuck

Interesting fuel door. If yer traveling to a big show, and have all your goods in the bed, filling up on the way there could be a pita. But, for show and to have things hidden, IE shaved drip rails, fuel filler, antenna, etc...then I see its point.

Mine will be similar to tip49's....under the rear crossmember, above the rear bumper (no roll pan for me) and hidden behind a spring loaded license plate....in theory.

That seems to be the long way around the barn. Its trick though.
