Re: i leak gas outa my gas cap...
Sounds like your tank may be rusted if the gas is staining the side of your bed a brown color. As for locking gas caps we sell them at my work "Schucks, Kragen, Checker O'reily" for like 15 bucks real easy fix

A new rubber is about 30-60 depending on who you get it from and a glass shop might charge you 30-40 to change it out... If you have the chrome, unless you are dead stuck on keeping it, dump the chrome. It cost way more and it takes "two glass guys and a donkey" (exact words from a glass shop we used when I had a body shop and called them to install a windshield in a '70 longbed that had chrome trim...lol) to install it. Not fun. Give them a call and see... The glass rubbers are cheap and easy to find, there are so many of our trucks out there. Don

Re: i leak gas outa my gas cap...
It's not unusual for the gas cap gaskets to go away.
You can get a new cap @ just about any decent auto supply. As for the windshield, are you sure it's the windshield that is leaking? Where exactly is the water running/going?

Re: i leak gas outa my gas cap...
Hey Oldblue I have a new windshield seal you can have for the cost of shipping, probaly about $10. It's a regular one without the chrome trim. PM me if interested.
