still looking for a gas cap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

IM needing a painted gas cap in great condition for my 72 long horn. There are 2 sizes of caps, IM needing the larger diameter with the vent hole.

Hard to find these little guys. Yes, I know I can buy the chrome ones at the parts store. I have one now to get me buy till I locate a painted one.

keep an eye out if you would please.. than

Give them a call, they don't list the old items on the sites that they carry.

I ordered a diverter box for the A/C system

I think that I have what you need. It is a blue, vented cap that fits the 72 gas tanks. It needs to be repainted but it is in good shape. I can post a pic if you like.
