Re: 68 S/C update.....
I've been working off and on trying to figure out a cool, but fairly simple fuel filler modification for under the bed gas tanks. I've read a lot of threads and have seen some really cool stuff that people have come up with including in bed, tail light and side marker light. Each one of these requires modifications that require cutting and welding on the bed. Since my truck is already painted and the bed has been linered, I gave myself some pretty tight parameters on what I wanted to create, such as:
1. It should be a fairly simple mod that most people could accomplish with minimal skill 2. It should be bolt on 3. Absolutely NO cutting or drilling would be done on the bed (for painted trucks) 4. It must use existing holes 5. And it needed to be fairly cheap Well, here's what I came up with. I still have to do some fine tuning, but I'm very happy with how it's turning out. Once I go smooth with it, I'll probably do a write up on the install. What da ya think???? ** Marine fuel filler cap - http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...allpartial/0/0 **

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Nice set-up, I like the requirements and I'm definitely interested. I too have been thinking about something along these lines. I like all the mods I have seen (in bed, tail light, stake pocket, and marker light). I have been leaning towards the stake pocket or marker light. Some of the tail light mods I have seen look like they need more rigidity or the light could open going down the road. I can't do the bed floor because like yours my bed has a liner. How flimsy is the marker light when you open it to add gas? Are you using a cap that does not need to be removed to fill the tank? I think you would almost have to.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I had it machined down so that it would fit. It would be nice to fine one without the flange, but I haven't had any luck so far.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I finally got the blow off valve installed. It sound like a hurricane under the hood at a moderate throttle. I also started the 72 cable pedal install. Should have it finished up in the next day or so. Here's a few pictures of the progress...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Thanks Heath.
I'll eventually get the brake pedal that matches or just take the chrome off of the gas pedal. They all are slanted /. 1-2 hrs depending on how you do it.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I like the fact that it was a nice truck to start with but it's so much more w/the simple details items & corrections made where necessary (5-crimps on one wire??; those rear coils??; the cheesy looking fuel cell & batt placement).
Excellent work on this one!

I finished the pedal upgrade. I used a extra Lokar cable I had laying aroujnd instead of using the 71/72 factory one. It worked a little better with the supercharger setup.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Thanks for the length. One question though, is the stated cable length from end to end of the cable or the sleeve?
