Fuel door , What do you guys think?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MARIOS68PANEL · 05-11-2005, 07:48 PM

This is what I have now. The PO chewed a hole where the filler neck came out and put this ugly a&& door on. Looks like he cut it out with his teeth. The other is the bedside from a 2000 s10 pu. How do you think it would look if I cut it out and put weld it in the side. I have the stock fuel door from the s10 but I am thinking ,( Billit fuel door)

MARIOS68PANEL · 05-11-2005, 07:55 PM

I`ll try again

longnlow72 · 05-11-2005, 08:32 PM

i think that would be cool, havent seen it before, GO FOR IT!

68w/sbc406 · 05-11-2005, 09:05 PM

round is better than square

**Palf70Step** · 05-11-2005, 09:39 PM

I think that would be an excellent replacement. It will look right at home on your panel.

Although I think it would look better with the panel in my driveway

XXL · 05-11-2005, 10:28 PM

Round is good... the lines of the truck are right for a round fuel door. And ditch the billet idea. Stick with the stock S10 door. Clean and tasteful.

</one man's opinion>

XXL · 05-11-2005, 10:30 PM

BTW, Wes Hepp did this on his '67 panel. Looks great.

68w/sbc406 · 05-11-2005, 10:30 PM

no bad words

Stano · 05-11-2005, 10:44 PM

I think it would look great!

Stano · 05-11-2005, 10:48 PM

Here it is in stealth mode.

MARIOS68PANEL · 05-11-2005, 11:24 PM

So much for my (Original )Idea. Thought maybe I had one up on you guys, (WRONG) Stano, You did it on the pass side????? Thanks stano and xxl for the pic`s. I was wanting to see what it would look like before I did it . I think XXL is right . It looks better than I thought it would With the stock door.

HeavyD · 05-12-2005, 02:32 AM

Round door will look great. BTW, that old door is THE worst hack job I have ever seen. Absolutely horrid

useRc10 · 05-12-2005, 05:56 AM

sounds like a good idea... my dad used one of a ford pickup (don't know what year) on his suburban. It is round, but has no indentation...you push on the opposite side to open. Just an idea to make it a little smoother

Extend the idea a little by using a remote release unit so you don't have the finger notch. Then it'd be a pure circle in the panel. Just a thought.

smokekiki · 05-12-2005, 10:30 AM

I think the one Wes used was out of a Chrysler minivan that has remote open.

**CPNE** · 05-12-2005, 11:07 AM

There is nothing new under the sun. There is however the outer fringes of the universe if you wish to "go where no man has gone before". Doing so if fraught with the pitfalls of bad taste and lunacy. A certain pink cowboy cadillac comes to mind when discussing fringe lunatics.

I like the idea of correcting the previous owner's indiscretions and misguided use of the sawz-all. Take heart in the fact that what you accomplish, while not being truely unique, has brought new life to another old truck, and given you a sense of accomplishment and pride in the process. Go for it!

Fred T · 05-12-2005, 01:15 PM

Mario - You will find Wes at www.myoldtruck.com

CPNE - Around here (where there are real cowboys) that pink pickup wouldn't win the owner anything but a quick trip to the emergency room.

Good idea with that newer gas door
