Fuel tank installed with stainless steels straps. Parking brake cables hooked up and adjusted. I used two left hand 98 explorer cables which worked good no modifications needed. Now fuel lines, brake lines and I need to buy master cylinder/booster.

Cut hole in bed and made gas door. Went to junkyard and got a 90's F150 door. Put bed back on for clearance check and to make sure I cut hole in right spot. The door is centered in the bed, but tank filler offset a bit. The hinge needs a little bit of work- rust of course! Then I think I will bolt it in so can be replaced and also a bit more adjustable than welding.
