DRW to SRW conversion

So I am doing the research to do this to my 96 3500. I have a set of wheels and tires. and I am looking to yank the fenders off for now until i have time to go pick up a bed.

I have seen pics that looks like once you remove the dually fenders there is a fuel door in the regular bed. My question to anybody who has done this conversion is that true or is this picture of a bed someone has added the door to?

A temporary thing but I would hate to get all the way down to pulling off the fenders only to find that I now have to figure out how to attach the fuel filler to something that doesnt exist.

Thoughts?

question: 99 ram 3500 dually to single rear wheel - Page 2 - Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum

The rear axle spindle width should be different. Not sure how that will affect going from dually rims to single rims.
