What kind or rear gas tank, cause a standard width frame one will not fit, so I hear...but a 23 gallon little 90's ish Ranger truck plastic one will fit, so I hear anyway.

Cut a gas flap recessed hinge area out of a junk bed and weld it in. Might have to shorten the filler neck just a bit?

How it that for a guess?

Oh so that bed has that style like a old 73 exposed gas cap, but its plugged like a CC F250 2wd short bed (they plugged the front tank spot) got it now.

Can you locate a JY bed with a exposed filler neck cap and get that filler neck?

I can make a JY lap in a month as soon as I am off the road. I have seen that style of bed and filler cap up there.

My 74 Crew short bed has a plugged rear tank hole. Have an in-cab and midship tank. It's half rust though; the cap traps water.
