Re: Dug's 1959 Fleetside
Finally got most of the parts for my gas filler assembly. On the top side, I used a Polished Stainless Boat Deck Filler Cap (Keyless Angled 1-1/2") I got off of eBay. Used a 1-3/4" hole saw to make the large hole. Had to file it a bit to get the angled portion of the filler assembly through the hole. I initially used metal screws to hold it in place. Ran up to Home Depot and bought some 10-32 SS screws and locking nuts for the final install. I'll add a small gasket between the Filler and the truck tub to keep water from slinging up into the bed. Installation looks clean and was simple to perform. Next post shows the bottom side.
