I did the same thing last year on my K5 after having to drop the tank a few times. I have the same tank for my 79 as well. Carb to TBI TO MSD Atomic FI.
Seems like kind of a cheap cover. Certainly there was some kind of billet aftermarket fuel door or even making a cleaner cut out of the floor and refabing a door out of it. Just my opinion no judgement. You rockin killer builds.
Thanks for the comments. I’m not aware of a billet or more flush option without making it ourselves. And that might be an option in the future but for now this’ll do.
I was a little hesitant to cut there but I needed the access. The floor still feels solid so I’m not worried, but if I end up needing to add any support, you’ll see it here on the channel.

It looks good. When my fuel pump goes in my k5 im putting in a hatch
Thanks! It’s totally worth it.
Would be a good spot for a kill switch too. I'm doing this to my 87 K5 when I replace the tank. Thanks.
It’s very useful, especially if you use your truck.

It's not a big deal that you cut through that cross-member?
