In general the square fuel doors started in 79 on pickups.

They are rare... Only seen 2 in the 500 plus trucks I've parted out and the 1K plus that I had the pleasured to deal with. I thought the first one was a rebuild, but the owner said it was orginal. It had been repainted/restored so no telling for sure. The second one was definately not a rebuild. Mostly orginal paint, orginal title, orginal owner single tank truck. Owner laughed and told me he punched the unleaded fuel hole and ran regular gas cause it was cheaper...lol. Picture shows bed on 86 truck that I flirted to rebuild but didn't. The bed came off a truck with a 4/78 build date...btw the second picture is of the cluster out of the same truck.

One thing Ive leaned in parting out so many trucks is never say never... I have a whole list of odd ball stuff that GM did. Lets see... 80 Silverado, hard loaded with every avaialble option 2/80 build date, round headlights... neighbor bought new. 78 plain wrapper truck, 12/77 build date, manual oil gauge. basicly 77 harness in 78 truck. 87 V20 Silverado, again hard loaded with every avaialble option... except a/c. 79 truck 1/2 ton 4x4 silverado, decently equiped black truck...but had red in the side chrome, not black. Red was sprayed on, just like the black is, but there was no black underneath. Owner was looking for a replacement piece that was damaged in a wreck and there was no black under the red. Id admit, that was a sharp looking truck...

I remember quite a few of these rolling around my small town in the early '80's.

These ones for sale are in great condition given that many were bought by farmers and eventually saw some hard farm duty use plus the salt on the winter roads.
