gas cap for 72
 
having a heck of time trying to find a vented gas cap for my 72 fleet side. if anyone has this magic napa part number that would be awsome. i work at napa and damn if i can find it. we just got our updated cap catalog, it's not in there.

i've always just used the tube that went to the charcoal canister from the gas tank as a vent so i could use the stock gascap

I believe the 72, since it had the beginnings of emission equipment on it, was a sealed system to recover the vapors. Therefore, it would be a non-vented cap. I am sure more knowledgeable will chime in though.

I have an NOS cap in a GM box with part number 6263474. I was told it's correct for my 72 C10. On the underside it is stamped pressure vacuum. I assume this means it is not vented. It is identical to the cap on my 72 which I believe to be the original cap.

correct, it is vented thru a charcoal canister under the hood with lines running from the tank

You have it backwards. The '67 - '70 or '71 were vented and the '72's were non-vented.
