Fuel Neck Plug

I want to convert my truck to the aftermarket tank between the fram rails, my problem is the big hole in the cab where the neck was. Do they make a rubber plug or something to cover this??

Re: Fuel Neck Plug

Wes, at classic heartbeat in washington state has a filler panel (metal) for that very application. GMC Paul's is much closer to you and may have the same patch panel. Some guys go to the junkyards and cut a piece from the other side of a donor cab for this piece.

Re: Fuel Neck Plug

If that is you situation, some guys have just "faked it" and left the filler neck in place along with the external gas cap.

Re: Fuel Neck Plug

I'm sure I've seen rubber plugs in the past. I'm thinking it was on larger trucks that had saddle tanks from the factory.
