Question I know this has been beat to death, but......

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!

Re: I know this has been beat to death, but......

* 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!

I had a car tank in a truck with the filler in the center rear/flip-down tag mount from same car.Redneck`67 put a filler door in the fender just lately.
