Re: 51 Gmc

Did you buy the filler panels for your gas filler and louvers, or make them from "leftovers"?

I made the gas filler from a leftover chunk of the cab corner so it had the right shape. The louver filler was from the top part of the driver side outer cowl repair panel I had left. I only needed the lower part so the top worked great for the other side.
