64-67 Chevelle Gas Tank, will it work?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I really don't see a license plate fill working very well. The bracket is at the same level as the frame. The Camaro, Caprice, Chevelle, etc used license plate fills, or filler doors, that were located up high between the taillights.

The only time I've seen this successful on a truck was on one that had the bed floor raised and the filler was behind the tailgate housed in the raised section of the floor. And it looked like a pain in the ass to fill.

Not true, '69 Camaro's had the filler behind the license plate, NOT up between the taillights. That was '67-'68. I belive Chevelles were behind the license plate between '64-'67.

In the one link above, the one using the Camaro tank spaced it down about 1.5" to get the filler in the right location behind the license plate. Even with it spaced down, you almost can not see it from behind.
