70 gas cap problem,,,, - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**specialtyretail** · 01-20-2011, 01:07 PM

We are starting on our 70 model C10. Needed a gas cap, i work at an auto parts store, no problem, got a gas cap. Too big... OK, try a 71,, too big... They will not go into the filler neck. has anyone else ran into this problem. I have sold a few of these in the 30 years i have been selling parts,, seems like it is always our vehicles that give us problems. Any ideas?? Suggestions?? Thanks, Fred

I have had this problem. Someone may have changed out the gas tank. Try one for a 72.

Hey there. Thanks for the quick reply. That is exactly what we had in mind, have one coming on the next delivery truck. Hope that is it. Thanks again, Fred

if you use a 72cap it is not vented so make sure you have a venting system for your tank
