C20 Locking Gas Cap

[YellowK5]

Trying to find a locking gas cap for my 71 C20 which has the larger dia neck...
So far I have been through 3 caps they are too small and can pop off or really ugly plastic caps ..sent them all back..I really want a nice clean chrome cap..

Thought I could help but it doesn't look good....

Went through my receipts. In 2004 I bought one from NAPA, p/n 703-1113 which seems to be changed or discontinued. Rubber seal in it failed in 2018 and I found one at Oreilly's, p/n STA 10491 which unfortunately now shows a black plastic cap.

So this post is pretty much worthless -- unless you can use the info to track down what you want. Oh BTW the neck on my K20 is 2 1/4" dia.

EDIT: Found one (STA 10491) on EBay but it's out of stock.... Got a picture though if that's the type you're looking for. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Locking-Fue...-/184489405258

Might be the luck of the draw, sorry yours leaked. My first one held from 2004 until 2018. The one I bought in 2018 is still holding.

I googled "stant 10491" and got several hits..... just not at NAPA or Oreilly.

Thanks for the help...still looking

Well, the more ya dig, the more ya find. Just discovered this: Stant Corporation was purchased by H.I.G. Capital, which (I guess) also owns MotoRad. Info was a bit hazy.

That may explain the change from chrome locking caps to black plastic. Anyone wanting the chrome ones may want to stock up while they can.

I'm with tdangle. Every locking cap on my truck leaked sooner rather than later. Non-locking chrome cap. It's been on there for a dog's age, now.

Yep, I'm just careful where I park as it is way too easy to steal gas out of these tanks.

I have cameras on the front of my house, so no worries when I'm at home.

I have cameras also, but do park in the garage. I only worry when I park it a shopping centers, etc. Home and work no worries

Well every time I fill the tank it makes me worry about who might want my gas...
