I had the same issue, I'd barely drip the fuel in and it would still burp out--the pumps in California *really* suck. I bought a used filler neck from a later model vehicle. There is an inner part pressed into the fuel neck that I carefully cut out. It has the modern smaller fuel hole and spring loaded gate. Then I tacked that inside my existing fuel neck (when it was out of the vehicle of course). I also replaced the tank with an aftermarket LMC 38-gallon unit.
Now i can hold the nozzle handle all the way down and fuel wide open as long as I stand there and hold nozzle in (angle is too shallow to have the handle stay propped in on it's own).
Works for me and is way less of a drastic fix than I've read about (upgrading to the 'door' version, cutting a fuel filler into the bed, etc.)
