When I got my 64 C10, it had a locking gas cap, but no key !!
I needed to remove the cap to pump some fuel,.
I posted my problem on this forum, but the only suggestions I received, were to remove the seat, and either remove the gas tank, or disconnect the rubber filltube.
Either way, it's not a job I wanted to tackle.
After a quick you tube search, I came across a video that showed someone removing the exact same gas cap, with a FORK !!!

Anyway I tried, it and it worked in under 30 seconds.

Here is a link to the video
