Gas Filler Options???

Can you do the side marker gas filler like they do on the trucks to a blazer? Anyone got any pics of what they did?

Re: Gas Filler Options???

There are several guys on the board with custom fillers using later model gas doors. I think 2wdBlazer has one on his rig.

It's a slick modification. I think it looks great on a slammed & modified 2wd.

Re: Gas Filler Options???

I cut the gas filler door area out of a ford ranger bedside, should install without issue.

I've heard of guys using Lumina parts too.

I am going to give it a shot on my blazer as my new tanks filler tube has to be modified anyway.

Re: Gas Filler Options???

What are you hoping for as an outcome?

Hidden or just out of the way?

Trying to clean up the quarter panel or making it disappear?

Re: Gas Filler Options???

I just wanna clean up the quarter panel and get the stocker off there. I wouldn't mind putting it in the floor if I could find a nice lid of some sort. I see lids in the beds of trucks all the time, I would just have to be careful when pumpin gas and not get it in the carpet.

Re: Gas Filler Options???

Marker light looks the easiest, tail light also, but floor is very easy too,
Floor becomes a issue if the top is on, or even your tonneu idea also

No, Mine is just filled and routed into the bed. I have a carpeted cover over the bed section behind the seat so you have to open the tailgate to fill her up.
