Re: Chrome aftermarket locking gas caps

I know this isnt what you ask but it isnt worth the trouble. If I want to steel your gas you haveing a locking gas cap just means I am going to have to walk back to my truck to get a screw driver and since I am a theif I wouldnt care if anything falls in your tank. Just my .02

Or you can cut the rubber line from the tank under the truck.

Re: Chrome aftermarket locking gas caps

So correct me if I'm wrong,
There are 3 things I can think of when looking to purchase a Chrome Locking Gas Cap:
1)Wheather your Tank is "Vented" or not.
2)Whether it has an EEC System.
3)The size of the neck in relationship to the Cap.

I'm looking at the 3 Major parts distributors for GMC parts and they List exactly what I'm looking for in a Gas Cap only it is for 67-71 GMC.

I have a 72 GMC.

Unless it was a Screw on type cap, I feel that as long as I follow the 3 guidlines above, I should be OK..............correct?

This is true, however I even took care of that. I made the gas thief not like me.
