You don't need to remove the wheel liner or create an access panel for the LBZ. You can easily reach down through the engine with a filter wrench and remove the fuel filter. LMM's and up do require the wheel liner removed (or access panel).
This is true. I've changed many of fuel filters on my lbz on the side of the road and in parking lots in the middle of winter when they first started blending bio diesel with winter fuel around here. When it got extremely cold the bio diesel would clog the fuel filter.

Taking off, NP. Getting a new one popped over the inlet seal without jacking with the external o-ring was much easier for me with a liner panel. I went to a 50w Wolverine filter heater wrap on a cabin switch after a couple of BP gels towing on the road in 07, never had an issue again. For those new to the GM - the GM filter head is heated but thermostat controlled, and can gel even if the motor is hot when the temp drops (maybe around -25F) and no winter front. Avoid towing heavy on a LLY and LBZ with a winter front on if you have stock intake - it can air starve.
Some good advice in here so far regarding fuel filter door (I hated doing it without the liner removed) and the winter front/towing recommendation. Watch your IAT temps!
Also, put those tail lights in the nearest trash receptacle.
If that is a 5" exhaust (it appears to be) get ready for the DRONE at 75mph. It goes away at 82 though

Never been to Shreveport. Taking the boss.
If we fly to Shreveport it would cost almost $800 with a 3 hour stop over in Dallas and another 1.5 hours on the plane from Dallas.
If we fly to Dallas its $420 and a rental car is $35 … so land at Dallas get the rental unlimited miles. Go to Shreveport get the truck. Drive back to Dallas drop off the rental!
We are gonna take the southern route because family in Texas and Arizona would let us spend the night.

The DRONE?
Exhaust noise.
I had a 96 powerstroke with a 3in down pipe and 4in back. Kit came with a glasspack type muffler. The exhaust 'drone' was horrible cruising down the hwy.
I removed the muffler and it went away.
Straight pipe exhaust had one hell of a 'crackle' when getting on it or towing but there was no 'drone'.

Let me know if you come across any 4 door long boxes with around 100,000 or so miles.
Congrats on the sweet truck!
Duallys seem to be around 20K at 100K . Would that work for you?

The easy part is finding them. The hard part is finding the one you want BEFORE someone else buys it !

Returned home last night. Truck performed well but no longer 58,xxx miles on it.
Did over 10 fuel stops playing with the EDGE programmer with 5 codes.
Best mileage was 22+ MPG for about 400 miles at night flat ground using 5 extreme ( Allison / Duramax 2500hd crew 4wd 3.73 rear 285/55/20 tires )
Averaged 19 MPG whole 1550 plus miles.
Only issue was a black truck in the desert at 112F going 75 with the AC on the tranny started to get hot from 140 to almost 200 after 3 plus hours driving. Pulled over and could have cooked stake on the roof of the cab. So pulled into a town and washed all the bugs out of the radiators ! Temp back to 140.
Fuel gage took a while to register full tank keeping the truck running.
Rear end got noisy tires and gears after 5 plus hours but ended if we pulled over for just a few minutes. Did not get noisy on hill climbs.
Wife drives a 06 Cadi escalade with almost the identical interior and wish she had this truck instead !!!!
