Question Tail Light Gas Filler - Drawings?

I want to do the tail light gas filler conversion. Does anyone have drawings & measurements of the filler assembly?

Thanks

I don't know of any drawings but here are some threads on the subject. It includes all years so just make sure what you are reading pertains to your year of truck.

Re: Tail Light Gas Filler - Drawings?

I'm not sure anyone has ever done a drawing, most of the installs seem to be more of a "figure it out as you go" sort of thing.

Re: Tail Light Gas Filler - Drawings?

Probably the best you could do is start looking at some of the kits available to do this and have your guy start his design by looking at the kits online.

These pics may help. Good luck, Rg
