It's going to be a pain to fill your truck up. I had a work truck where the filler neck sat that level and the pump would keep shutting off even on the lowest setting and a couple times fuel shot out and soaked my shoes while trying to fill up at the gas station. I like the concept though.

Just finished up. I went and filled up the tank, no issues filling it at all. I could run the gas nozzle at the fastest speed and it never clicked off during the fill. It finalky clicked off when it was full. Actually it fills better than my stock tank. So the fill neck hose and pipe was a 100% success!!!

Is that radiator hose? If so I wonder how well it is going to hold up to gas. Glad to hear it worked out but I was figuring you would have issues filling up too.

Here are the pics. Granted i still need to clean up alot of things but i just flat out ran out of time... Also i did not have any zip ties so i had to use electrical tape, sucks i know.... Anyways i am really happy with the way it turned out, ran into a few snags, like they sent me the wrong damn fuel sending unit, pretty pissed about that one!!! But thanks to a good buddy helping me we were able to get everything knocked out!!! lots more todo but it is a start in the right direction.

Here is a link the filler neck hose i bought just incase any one else needs some... It comes in 1.25, 1.5 and 1.75, kinda expensive but worth it to do it right... All the tubing i used for the fill is stainless 16gauge.
