You could probably fit 4 of these under the carpet under the seat.

update on the tail light fuel fill. I created a plate to mount to the back of the tail light. Man was it a bitch to cut. The metal wanted to jump/move with the jigsaw blade. I'm sure it's lack of tools and technique. I gave up on that pretty quick....well after 4 jigsaw blades.
I decided to use 1" wide steel to run between the right side screws. Then drilled holes for the hinge "fingers" to bolt to. I need to support the left side as the tail light flexes away from the hinge easily. If it wasn't for the side marker bulb, I would have mounted it on the left side like @Mr Clean did.
The right side does stick out a bit, the bottom right screw/nut is hitting the original hole. I'll either delete that hole or maybe bend it in.

I used a Jeep Grand Cherokee hinge, around a 07. That's how I got mine to mount on the left side.

Got it down to a list now:
1. Mount fuel tank (under bed), filter, run lines and power (Frame work ready for tank already)
1A. Figure out fuel filler and hoses (preferably able to have fill pointed to the rear).
2. Little more prep on the fuse box
3. Power steering hoses (if needed)
4. temp fuel cell to test engine on test stand
5. Build Air intake line
6. Block off EGR
7. Brake booster fitting on intake
8. Bolts for throttle body.....damn bolt Gnomes stole 'em
9. have steam line adapter installed on to current radiator
10. solder TAC to Pedal harness back together
11. Find location to drill hole in cab for TAC/Pedal harness
I'm sure there's some missing. I'll research more and prolly stop by B&K in Barbourville to discuss.

little toying tonight. I wanted to block off the EVAP solenoid hole, but couldn't bring myself to pay $15 for a screw and plate lol. A 308 and 44 Mag shell fit fine. I chose the 44 mag due to it having a lip to help stop it getting sucked into the engine. Probably tape off the shell and paint the rest. Had to change the camera angle to read the shell due to lighting. Slap some silicon on it or rubber gasket and call it done. Soldering brass to steel is not easy by the way LOL.

See stubbornness does lead to ingenuity.......and the bullet made a hole and the shell casing filled a hole.

That's for the previous body style. I read somewhere it's unknown if it will work in a square body. I just came across this https://precisionfabricationplus.com/
Not sure if the Duramax pedal is the same.
