Stepside filler ( I switched from a 77 bed to a 1980 bed) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

84 400 · 02-16-2009, 10:51 PM

Did a search but came up with not too much...

I got a newer stepside bed maybe a 1980? it has the drivers side tank just like the 77's I took off. The new bed has a square door but the old bed had the exposed cap. Where can I get the correct filler part that mounts to the bed? where can I get the hose. I tried reusing the 77's filler and hose but the angles just aint gonna work. I looked on lmc and capt's website but have not found anything.

Any ideas.

Also NAPA does not sell the hose for this.

You could rig up a cap and use a rubber tube that's rated for fuel.

I have tried a few different options but the angles won't work. It kinks and flattens.

Nobody re pops this right?

Now thinking about a section of exhaust pipe?? and just rubber elbows to connect? But would much rather have all rubber

I think I am going to have the same problem, as I removed my bed, I turned around and noticed my dad cutting the hoses off my tanks. oh well too late now. Anyway, I have seen this stuff at the autoparts place. It is somesort of coil you put in or outside of a straight rubber hose and it will hold the shape when you bend it and keep it from kinking. just a thought

Are they still avaialble through the dealer?

Classic industries has them. Here is the link to the downloadable catalog.

http://www.classicindustries.com/pdf/T_SEC_I.pdf

It is a PDF file and requires adobe to view. The hoses are on page 8.

Here is a link to Classic parts (Chevy Duty) and what they have

Just checked that out on Classic industries site.. Wow that much for a hose? I guess u gotta do what u gotta do.

Question on 84 and up step side beds did they use the same metal part as the 77-79 beds? (the part that screws into the bed?

Also was the main tank on the drivers or passanger side??

Thanks

Classic industries discontinued that part............... arrgggh

Chevy duty did not have it aether...

Gonna try the dealer tomorrow and I will keep you all posted

I know in 82 they were on the driver side. I think when they went to the door cover it switched back to the driver side.

FYI No one repops the filler assembly or the hose. Got to a boat shop and get a section of their fuel hose..

I thought about kink one but the bends look a bit to sharp to not kink
