Factory style gas cap? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

deelowe · 04-12-2007, 11:11 PM

Hey guys,

Sorry if this is a noob question, but I need to get a new gas cap for my 67 c10. What's the best vendor to get a stock looking chrome gas cap from? I've gone through the various vendors listed on this site and the prices vary from $40 to $7. I'm just not sure who I should go with.

sb69chevy · 04-12-2007, 11:14 PM

I got mine from O'reilly for about 7 bucks or so.

ThatOneBlue67 · 04-12-2007, 11:46 PM

Yeah, but those ones fom the parts guys have all the red writing, saying 'WARNING' this and stuff right? The original cap was a plain jane, chrome cap with a keyhole in the center. Kind of domed too I think.

Why not purchase from any of the listed vendors on this sites home page? Also check out the parts section here!

GREASEMONKEY72 · 04-12-2007, 11:56 PM

even if you get the one with the warning and all you can take all that off, its usually just a sticker anyway

I just bought a locking one from LMC & it leaks worse than the old original I replaced. Please let me know who makes a good one. Locking or not...

This is what I'm afraid of. I'll check out orielly and see what those look like I guess, until I can find an original.

What do you mean by leak?

Here you guys go. You have to enter 68 or newer to find truck parts, the computers only go back to 68 except vw's.

Gas sloshes out all down the side of my cab & bed after I fill up & I don't top off 7 even stop sooner than I would like...This is the reason I bought a new cap. I just thought the old gasket had used up all it's life...

killer71 · 04-13-2007, 02:54 AM

hum; sure it's not your gas tank spout

Longhorn Man · 04-13-2007, 05:01 AM

go to your parts store of choice, ask for a stant 11623. This will work for a 70 or older.

I thought the same thing. Problem is it comes out the key hole also...

2nd_wnd · 04-13-2007, 11:57 AM

i bought a black plastic locking one for my gmc at autozone, works great.

Locking caps are worth the money it will at least slow down the gas thief

Longhorn Man · 04-13-2007, 03:54 PM

yeah, but a locking gas cap SUCKS in the cold weather. When you have less than a gallon of gas, and there's ice in the lock... people will look at you funny when you are holding a lighter to the cap trying to thaw it out enough to get the sucker off.
I've actually had some ballsey/brilliant thieves, crawl under my truck, undo the fuel line, and take 3 FULL tanks of fuel that way. Had me thinking I was goin nuts.

JHART · 04-13-2007, 04:01 PM

I picked up my gas cap from early classics when i replaced my sending unit.

I had the same problem with gas sloshing out and running down the side of my truck. The new cap did the trick.

Tx Firefighter · 04-13-2007, 06:34 PM

The Stant that Andy recomened will fix you up.

Holy Crap, Longhorn! 3 Tanks??? Remind me to stay outta your neighborhood.... I'd end up getting myself locked up if I caught somebody getting over on me that way. And I thought my neighborhood was getting bad when 6 patrol cars pulled up to "talk" to a neighbor down the street.....

Getting back to the thread, I bought the black one from Autozone, too. It works fine, but I still thinks its ugly.

killer71 · 04-13-2007, 08:43 PM

For what it's worth, I got mine from LMC--works fine--no lock!

big blue 72 · 04-14-2007, 08:51 AM

I had the same problem on Big Blue a couple of years ago.
the gas filler neck at the top leaked .
I found out after three different caps I had laying around that the filler neck inside where the cap tightens down had been lifting the inside rim/threads, so I re-adjusted them downward and WALLA!!!, No more gas leaks!
try it!
