And where do u fill it from?

I am looking to relocate it and i want to fill it from the bed, i need a filler neck and cap and cover. Where can i get these nice billet parts?

krue · 10-22-2006, 06:04 PM

I've heard a lot of folks have used boat/marine supply stores to find these parts.

tphsmith · 10-22-2006, 07:09 PM

I just got my filler for mounting threw the bed, I got it threw Boat Owners World , now I did steal the idea off this forum. but it looked so cool I had to get one too. someone on here did a post on the filler in the stake pocket. I liked the style of the filler so I went to the local boat shop they didnt have it but I did a search and this place as I said at the top carried what I wanted.

MY TANK IS MOUNTED IN BETWEEN THE FRAME IN THE BACK OF THE BED AND THE GAS DOOR ON THE FLOOR OF THE BED

corkscrew · 10-22-2006, 08:12 PM

So what kind of neck and cap did u use?

wibilly · 10-22-2006, 11:18 PM

pete what kind of coating is that on your bed floor? i like it

67ChevyRedneck · 10-22-2006, 11:22 PM

I didn't like the idea of dropping the tailgate to fill the truck (or if I had a load in the bed and was on "E" how do I fill it up?) so I did this. Just a thought.

Blue85 · 10-23-2006, 12:54 AM

i did pretty much the same as pete6960 but used a aftermarket billet door, just cut the door and filler from a newer truck, and welded it into the box,

Here's mine.

Fuelcellguy tank (about 24 gals).
Molded in late 80's Old's remote release gas lid.

Blue85 · 10-23-2006, 01:42 AM

looks sweet jim, good job

corkscrew · 10-23-2006, 02:11 AM

i decided to just go with a boat setup.

*bskylerj* · 10-23-2006, 02:25 AM

I used a 20 gallon aluminum fuel cell and mad custom brackets for it. For the door I used a billett locking fuel door that I purchased from the local Hummer Dealer.

corkscrew · 10-23-2006, 11:41 AM

Where did you buy your 20 gallon gas tank bskylerj??

Satcojim - I had not seen your bed since you painted it. That looks friggen beautiful!!!!!

rodstored-72 · 10-23-2006, 06:51 PM

all i did was get a stock bazer tank & install it. i then got a "cool cap" from air ride tech. & mounted it on the back of the pass. side rear wheel housing. i just have to drop my tail gate to fill up. yo upretty much will have to do that no matter where yo decide to locate it (bed wise). i like it...

good luck! rodstored-72

....as long as it is located inside the bed.

There are many other options for locate the filler.. top of the bed side through the stake pocket hole, marker light fill, graft an OEM or aftermarket door into the bed side, tip-out tail light.

**SactoJim** · 10-23-2006, 08:09 PM

Blue85 & Glock....thanks.......actually got the bed back together and most of the truck is painted now....going to get the motor broke in before I put sheet metal back on.

Bskylerg - Looks like someone has a bunch of time making the inside of thier bed look very nice. Looks pretty damn perfect from the pics!! Believe me, I know the amount of time involved to accomplish that feat!!!!

Blue85 · 10-23-2006, 08:12 PM
