Bed Fuel Fill Install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**SactoJim** · 07-03-2006, 12:25 AM

Went to Pick & Pull yesterday looking for a fuel fill lid assembly that would work and that I liked. It's hard to find something completely flat and to complicate that, I don't have much depth between my bed floor and fuel tank due to the notch in the tank that the bed crossmember fits into. Most lids have too big a hinge system and wouldn't work. Found this on a eary 90's (I think) olds 98. It was almost flat and had a shallow hinge that would work. Also snaged the solenoid and cable assembly so I will have a release in the cab. Install went well with the exception to my crappy welding!!! I do need a welding 101 lesson.
