Hopefully your three month old cap was not in its proper place and was mistakenly laid on the ground

If your truck needed a vented cap you would know it soon enough. I bought a locking cap that was not and the vaccum built up and sucked the sides of the gas tank in far enough that the float for the gauge started to hit and bang on the inside of the tank.

Thanks, the cap went out yesterday in the AM just as I promised.

That was the first time i ever drove off without putting the cap back on. It fell off my tool box and crunch.

Oh well it happens to all that are as OLD as us! At least we Know at our age how to please em!

[Longhorn Man]

Well, I like to think I am APROACHING that age... at 31 I am too young to be old.
But I can still please them...most of them anyways.

You have a long-long way to go. I was 31 when you were born. So I do not want to hear anything about you APROACHING that age. Now I can say that! I am APPROACHING that age.

This brings up an interesting point.... it's kinda amazing how we read ppl's posts, and put them in an age group inour head with no other info...example, I always thought 86 swb was a younger guy honestly....and I've been refered to (by a 45 yr old on here) as part of the older generation.

[86swb]

I am a younger guy (at heart) I still feel the same today about these cars and trucks as I did when when I was in my 20's. That has never changed. Maby that is why I come off as being younger. I do not feel my age and do not think of myself as being old. You are as old as you feel. I feel great. I get to draw my Social Security check and by the time you get my age there might not be any to draw I hate to say. I really do not feel like I am old enought to be drawing Social Security.

I know what you mean... I've been acused of being a 15 yr old trapped in a 31 yr old body.

Hmmmm, I dunno if that is a good thing...

I take it you did not see my picture with one of my GrandSons in "what do you look like"? The picture is #658. and was taken in fall 2004. We so called "OLD MEN" like our cars and trucks too. I was drag racing '57 Chevy's way before you were even thinking about being born.

I had a 62 Impala SS and now I know what the SS meant. I am glad to hear that there is someone older (not much) than me on this Board. If I was old enough to draw SS I would not be sitting at this desk.
86 I can hear you on the racing back when. I had a 1953 Chevy 2 door hardtop with a 283 and a 4 speed in 1965. Last year of high school I had a 58 F@RD with a 332 Interceptor, $150. It was scary fast for a 4 door sedan. I did not have to buy many lunches my senior year. I blew it up the week before going in the USAF, February 1968. Sold it 4 months later for $100.

My favoret car I had was a red '66 Chevelle SS with the 427 and four on the floor. Man that thing would run. I bought it as a present to myself after I got back from Nam alive in '66. I ordered it new and was it ever nice. It had the positraction rear, black interior. I left a lot of dual traction tire marks at stop lights draging main back then. I graduated from high school in '62. Got married in 64 and had my first daughter while I was in Nam in '65. I was kind of wild in those days. I was blessed with three daughters. Never did have that son I wanted but now I have three wonderful son-in-laws and four great grandsons and two beautiful grandaughters.
