can't find the patch panel for the cab fuel opening - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

nelson-ohio · 02-19-2016, 04:40 PM

I'm moving the tank to the back, I though for sure I can find the little round panel to patch the opening in the cab, but called/searched 3 places (Borthers, LMC and Truck & Car shop) and none of them have it. Can someone tell me who has one for sale?

Thanks.

I believe that is a make your own panel. I had an old door and I cut a square out of it where the curve was and held it under the hole and traced it with a sharpie. instant patch panel. If you don't have one like that you might be able to hold a square piece over the hole and bend one up.
ON one of my trucks I just left the old fill pipe in with a locking cap on it.

10 bucks! is there anything LMC truck doesnt sell? unfortunately for me they charge flat shipping so even though I am a stones throw from them, shipping anything always starts at about 20 bucks.
