Converting to a tray back is easy as. You will need to budget in for the chassis to be sprayed black and the back of the cab to be painted. I mount my trays as low as possible as so they do not bottom out. With regards to the fuel filler you can lower this quite easily, I have done more times than I can count, but bear in mind the wheels WILL HIT the bottom of the tray if you don't have a custom tray with wheel arches within it once you go to low. The example below is about how low you can set them without the wheels scrubbing out. This XR has standard suspension and 19 inch rims. Price wise the style sides fetch about 600 odd dollars in new condition to whom we off load them to.A small example of a painted aluminium tray I did a while back.
