I have some room where I wasn't expecting it and the no room where I wasn't expecting it. But it's looking decent. The fans/shroud need to be recessed into the core support some more somehow or get thinner fans that flow same/more cfm to clear the accessory drive. And heat exchanger fitment will be tight as well.

I don't think pushers would fit with the space I have. I just need to recess the radiator 1/4" more or buy a new set of fans. Found some that flow 2000cfm each (vs the 1370cfm each I have now) and are 1/2" thinner. I will probably go that route. The new ones are curved blade which should also be a little more quiet than the straight blades I have which will be nice.

Thanks to Atomic for linking the OEM style 304 stainless filler neck for me. Some background....I came up with the idea to have a 1/2" thick flange with a 1/4" deep inner recess cut into it so a fuel door would sit flush to the top of the flange and the flange would sit level with all raised ribs in the bed floor. I was reviewing my idea and looking at pictures where people had put fuel doors in their beds. I starting thinking the look didn't go with what I was shooting for so I brainstormed something new. There's no way to directly connect the pop up style cap/neck to the tank and have the neck welded to the bed floor as there's only 2.5" between the bottom of the bed and where the top of the tank will be. So to keep the bed and the flush mount cap independent of the fuel cell and still be able to fill it I thought of using a push through style cap on the tank. I liked the flush mount pop up motorcycle/hotrod fuel caps. The problem with those is that they are only about 1 5/8" diameter (going back to not having room to connect the two with hose) nowhere near big enough to get your hand through to unscrew a cap on the tank filler neck. (I know those are typically used as the actual fuel cap) So again thanks to Atomic who linked the filler neck to me ( I wanted stainless since my tank is being made in stainless) The filler cap has a o-ring seal and the push through flapper has a rubber gasket seal. It's very airtight and the setup vents while filling the tank. I'll position the filler neck and flush mount cap so that's it's centered side to side in the bed. Should blend right in and be easy to fill hopefully that is.
