I know this has been beat to death, but...... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I did a search and could not find what I was looking for. I need some ideas on where to put the filler neck for my 68 chevy stepside with blazer tank.

I have seen the side marker option (very nice ), but I was wondering if ther was anything else. I do not like the idea of a bed floor filler.

Throw some ideas at me, please.

Hinged fuel door blended into the fender...
Removable cover on a stake pocket...

You don't have a lot of options left!

* Find a donor filler door assembly from a junkyard car/truck and put it in the back side or rear of the fender,

* Put the door in the bed side, make an enclosure for the inner stuff

Not much comes to mind for inside the bed, but not on the floor, since the corners are square and there being no wheel tubs to creat "pockets" in the corners..... if that made sense. LOL!

Mine is going into the bed floor

#1 - Side of the fender
#2 - Rear of the fender
#3 - Top of the bed side, with the tube running inside that corner piece

forget about it.. with the cost of gas, noone can afford to fill up anyways!

not sure if this would work, but how a hinged license plate cover? I had a old Mercury Montago like that ??

cdowns · 05-18-2006, 05:34 PM

Most folks who aren't 67-72 nut cases like us, think mine is factory at first.

You could put it below the tailgate in the center couldn't you?
