Is this possible?

Im wanting to shave the fuel doors on my 92. Ive only got the rear gas tank in the truck, and im wanting to get a roll pan with a flip down license plate to put gas in the tank like on some of the old muscle cars. My question is, is this possible or is the license plate gonna be too low to get the gas to flow into the tank? Any other options or ideas would be appreciated too. Thanks

The frame would be a issue for routing the fuel filler hose, and it probly will be a slow filler as there is not much height from that level. I have seen where people have put the fuel door inside the bed when they shaved the outside fuel doors off.

Yeah, that would be way too low. If you're wanting to do this your best bet would be putting it in the bed somewhere.

It'd probably be pretty easy to just move it inside the bed by the wheel well. Now making it look good and be functional would be the challenge. If done nicely, I could see it looking great. If done half-heartedly, it would look like crap.
