Possible Fuel Door Options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,

Just dropped my 2wd blazer off at the bodyshop. Me and the guy were talking about what to do with the fuel neck. He told me he'd put a door and everything on it for me. Just trying to figure out which ones you guys were using that were easiest to attain. Also what all do I need off of it.

Here's a pic of my inspiration blazer and it has a round door. I would prefer a round one

The 88-98 truck fuel doors are easy to come by and look pretty good grafted into a 67-72

5150 · 02-21-2007, 03:07 PM

Thanks Sting, that's what I was leaning towards. Just wanted to check all options.

go to the pull a part and start looking

matthufham · 02-21-2007, 06:36 PM

also you might want to cut out the sheetmetal around the door, instead of just pulling the door off, so you can graft the sheetmetal into your bed.

watahyahknow · 02-21-2007, 07:02 PM

i liked the gas cap behind the taillight from another thread , you could hinge the taillight down and get to the cap to fill her up nothing to mess up the nice lines of the truck

cstm68 · 02-21-2007, 07:39 PM

are you using sidemarkers ?? if you are then you could use the opening sidemarker way

watahyahknow · 02-21-2007, 07:44 PM

seen one where they used a deck- waterfiller from a boatstore he put it into the wood flooring of his pickup but i think it would fit on top of the bedside too frenched in a bit to look smoot

skokie · 02-21-2007, 07:45 PM

Just curious but can you use the side marker option on a swb fleet side?

yes but i dont think anyone makes a kit. you will have to finde a fuel doore in a junk yard and use the hinge off of that iv herd that the s10 type work well

**Palf70Step** · 02-21-2007, 08:01 PM

You may also want to look at some imports, that way you can get an inside cable release for the door. I think the Caravan's also have it available (Round with the release). I definitely thing the round doors fits the lines better than any of the square ones I have seen being used.

My body guy told me to make sure I cut a good bit around the door so he could have something to work with.

the entire blazer will be shaved. Nothing at all on it.

I REALLY like the tail light idea. I'm going to look at that a little closer. I'm going to try to find that thread and look at that.

HuggerCST · 02-21-2007, 11:55 PM

I like the one that glock35ipsc used. The cap doesn't have to be removed to fill, because the center pushes in. I think it would work good for a sidemarker filler since the sidemarker opening is small. If I would have seen this before I started the taillight filler, I probably would have gone the sidemarker route and saved some work, but I'm happy with how it turned out. Now if I can just save enough for a custom fuel cell.

Do you know if HuggerCST had to cut into the stake pocket at all?

I had to cut some of the metal out behind the tail light, but nothing inside the bed, or that will show.

5150 · 02-21-2007, 11:57 PM

What about yours Hugger?? I just found your post.

HuggerCST · 02-22-2007, 12:12 AM

Here's mine.

HuggerCST · 02-22-2007, 12:21 AM

The only thing about mine is that I had to use the trim to cover the gap below the light. I had to do this to give it enough clearance to open. You could recess the whole light enough to clear, but would probably have to do the others to match it. You can see where I trimmed it in this pic.
