Relocated gas tank

I just want to know from everyone that moved their gas tank from behind the seat, how did you seal the hole left from the filler neck?

I am looking for ideas as to what to do with mine.

Get a piece of the same gauge steel, cut, shape and mig weld it in. That's what I'm doing with mine.

There is a Ford part designed for this. It is a black rubber plug, not very elegant, but it's got a Ford p/n on it.

Just like instig8r63 suggested get a peice of sheet metal same gauge and mig it in ---OR--- Now would be a good time to think of your options, you can use that space for an electric antenna I put mine on the opposite side (view my gallery) only because I already filled in filler neck hole. But weigh options first. just take your time do it right, good luck

I agree with welding in sheetmetal. I just finished it a few weeks ago and the truck looks so much smoother.

Thanks for all your help, I have been thinking about putting the power antenna in for a little while, so that will be most likey what I will do. Thanks again.
