So very pretty.... Not bad for a dirty garage paint job. Porsche Meteor Gray Metallic.

Take some chains and whip the bed. That will take the edge off. There is a market for “stressed” goods.You might have made the bed too nice to use!
Looks great!
In a very similar boat as you, need tight radius turns on my fuel filler. My current thinking is to use mild steel tubing, weld it all myself and then have it galved when it's all done and leak tested.Got the front end all folded down and adjusted. The coil spring mounts worked great. Also added a temporary Star Wars land speeder steering apparatus.
Now a question for the masses. I need to make a 2" fuel filler tube to go from the stock fuel filler location through the cab, downward and exit rearward toward the truck bed. I need several 90 degree and 45° turns. I was thinking about using copper, but read that it’s not good on fuel injectors. The issue is I need tight turns, so the question is what type of material/ where can I find tight turn turns. I thought about sch 40 pipe, but that seems way too heavy for this purpose. Does exhaust have tight turns?

Not much input yet, so going to dive in and use PVC 2" pipe to layout a plan, then use stainless. Found this source for tight turns....In a very similar boat as you, need tight radius turns on my fuel filler.

That's my current plan but if anyone has a better one then I'm all ears too!
Look at the big brain on that guy....I think you are already on the right track. I used 1.5 SS header tubing to extend/relocate the filer tube on my camper project. If you use a smaller diameter you should be able to get some tighter bends.
Super nice work like always !!
