Style side to flareside change over

I have a 79 150 style side, and I was thinking of maybe trading for a flare side. I don’t know what I would do with the gas filler neck. Do they make a kit to mount it in the bed floor? Also would the wiring harness plug in. I’ve read that 53-79 would work just the top bed rail is different.

I am currently restoring my truck and doing this swap also. my thread If you get the taillights with wiring and the filler neck and filler hose off the flareside bed it is an easy swap.

I depends on what year bed I would get right, because the filler is in different places on different years.
