WTB: Aux tank fuel door in bed side

[BobRitts]

My 72 LWB came with the (I think) dealer-installed aux tank sitting aside the frame rail on the passenger side, near the front of the bed. There's a square fuel door (sure you've seen 'em) that after 30 years looks, well, 30 years old.

Just had her repainted and I'm looking for a classy/shiny/new looking fuel door. Anyone know where to get one? Pic shows the empty hole where it needs to go.

TIA!

Awesome - just what I was looking for.

@GREASEMONKEY... Dunno who makes the tanks, but IIRC CBS News made them famous for blowing up, right? That's the kind I have, between the frame and the fender, just at the right location for crashing into if I'm turning left and someone is running the light.

No the tanks they were really picking on were the tanks in the 73-87 pickups. The 73-87 have the paper thintanks that mount between the frame and bedside. The ones on ours are made of a lot thicker steal, well at least my aftermarket tanks are. So they will probably hold up more like a trucker tank. HAvent seen the polly saddle tanks yet, would like to see them. I bet they would probably survive the best since those polly tanks seem real flexible and plus they dont rust.
