Tail-light hidden fuel filler
Anybody have any tips/tricks on doing the modification to relocate the filler cap behind the tail-light? I bought a blazer tank for my truck and am ready to start fabing up the fuel filler line.
Thanks |

Re: Tail-light hidden fuel filler
Have you tried searching? I know that I've seen threads on both behind the tail light and behind the rear side marker light.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=222461 If you are close to Gadsden I have this set up for a reference if you want to come by and look at it. I will be down there at the end of the month. Its mocked up in a scrap rear bedside. I bought it from Hugger CST to put in my truck. Brian.

Thanks man, Unfortunately, I'm all the way down in Dothan. I'm curious as to how you mocked up the cam-spring setup though. Do you have any pics of that? |

Re: Tail-light hidden fuel filler
This thread has a few more pics, but it's just a throttle spring that's mounted at a downward angle so that it holds the light open, but when closed, it cams over and holds it closed. Somewhere I've got a better pic of that spring, if I can find it. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ghlight=filler
