Gas Tank Filler & Vent Hose - Stepsides?
Were can I get a Gas Tank Filler & Vent Hose for 87 stepside. Local parts stores do not carry them, internet sites seem not to carry stepside parts only fleetside.
Can I use a fleetside hose on the stepside? Suggestions on making one? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Gas Tank Filler & Vent Hose - Stepsides?
Are you looking for the metal piece that bolts to the fender or the hose that goes to the tank?

Re: Gas Tank Filler & Vent Hose - Stepsides?
When I replumbed the saddles on my '84 dually, NAPA wanted an arm and a leg for the "special" fuel hose, so I bought a foot, cut it into 3 inch pieces, and bent some 1.250" muffler tubing to fit and hose clamped it in place. Not pretty, but very functional. Waaaaaaaay cheaper than pre-moulded hoses from the dealer Paul.

IIRC, it was 1 3/8ths. Measure the OD of the fill neck on your tank to be sure. Paul.

Re: Gas Tank Filler & Vent Hose - Stepsides?
just a thought...the fuel tanks for stepsides and fleetsides are the same, but the metal pieces that bolt to the beds for the filler hoses are different.

Re: Gas Tank Filler & Vent Hose - Stepsides?
My consern is the galve steel for exhaust tube. Will it breakdown with gas. I guess a 316 SS tube would be better? Then Im at the 60 bucks for the rubber if I have someone fab this up for me
