Rear Tank Filler Hole

[Paintman77]

Hello folks,looking for some help. Quick version 68 longbed to short box conversion. Rear mounted mustang tank. Nothing new, not reinventing the wheel. The problem is when I took my measurements on the frame and transferred them to the bed floor to mark my filler hole all was well. Once I cut the hole it landed right on top of the rear bed brace. I’ve heard nothing about folks having to navigate this brace when doing a rear tank swap. I’ve had the bed on the truck and all holes line up and wheel wells are centered. Does anyone know where I’ve gone wrong or does this brace normally come into play. Rear 4” of bed were removed behind this brace so nothing with brace has been moved. Site says files are too large to load. Once I figure this out I’ll post them

I can't help with the bed filler issue but the pics...

You either have to "shrink" (resize them) or upload to a host site like photobucket or imgr then link the image here with the control icons above this post.
