Ok guys, those of you running this style on your trucks, how do you have them sitting? I bought this to put on my 379, but looking at it, not sure I can. The distance from out of the frame rail to the left of the fuel fill is 23 inches, the same distance as the inside of the box mount to the outside edge of it. So, it's going to cover the fuel fill unless I move it further forward. However, it would have to be way farther forward to get between it and the sleeper extensions. What yall think? Add a spacer to get it the sit higher on the frame rail to give me the room?

Have someone slash the bottom at a 45 just enough to clear. Weld a piece back on. Shouldn’t cost to much and will still look nice. Bet a shop could do it off the truck for under $100?
I cut the back of mine out to clear my muffler. Ez breezy.singlescrewshaker, Brettj3876 and WREN Thank this. -
Didn't think about that

Don’t cut a giant 45. Just nip the corner just enough to get the hose in and out.
singlescrewshaker Thanks this. -
Yeah I've got a buddy that does aluminum welding

Super ez off the truck and empty. It would be a PITA full and on the truck. That would change the price significantly.
singlescrewshaker Thanks this. -
Do you have an easy way to sit it up on your frame? If you do you could set it up there and see if it will work as is or not. It’s going to be slightly above your rail compared to your bunk. I never had any issue fueling this truck, just had to bring the nozzle in from the front. Or trim the corners off a little before you mount it.
singlescrewshaker, blairandgretchen and Tug Toy Thank this. -
That will make it run faster.....NICE
-
Could you swap your tanks around so the fill is at the front?
-
I'm definitely gonna set it up there to see first and go from there. I'm either going to 45 the corners like @Tug Toy Mentioned or put spacers in.
singlescrewshaker, Long FLD and Tug Toy Thank this.
