Description
A formed replacement panel for 1973–1978 GM and Chevy trucks that fills the spot where the gas filler neck used to sit. Weld it into the driver side of the cab to shave the filler hole and lose the fuel door.
Shaving the filler is a common step when a 1973-78 Chevy or GMC Squarebody gets a cleaner, smoother cab side. Rather than cutting a flat sheet and trying to shape it to the cab yourself, this panel arrives already laser cut and formed to the original filler neck location, so you can spend your time on fit-up and welding.
Features
- Laser cut from 16 gauge steel.
- Formed to fit the original filler neck location.
- Saves you templating, cutting and forming a patch of your own.
- Straightforward enough for the do-it-yourselfer.
This delete is specific to the early Squarebody years, 1973 through 1978, and installs on the driver side of the cab where the factory filler opening sits. It is a weld-in part, so plan on finishing the seams and prepping the area for body work and paint once the panel is in. Whether the truck is going to a shop or getting built in your own garage, it gives you a clean starting point for a smooth driver side on your 1973-78 Squarebody.

Gas Filler Delete - 73-78 GMC Chevy Squarebody Truck
Common questions
Does it bolt in or weld in?
It welds in. The panel is laser cut from 16 gauge steel and cut or formed to the factory filler opening, so you skip templating, cutting and forming a patch of your own.
How do I know it fits my truck?
This part is listed for 1973–1978 Chevy and GMC Blazer, C10, C20, C30, Jimmy, K10 and others. The full year, make and model list is in the Truck Compatibility tab on this page. If your truck has been modified, or you are between two of the year ranges we list, send us the year, make and model and we will confirm the fit before you order rather than after.
How long before it ships?
It is a stock item and generally ships within 1-3 business days. Carrier transit time is on top of that, and larger orders can arrive in more than one box on different days.
What if it is not right for the truck?
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return. The part needs to come back new, uninstalled and in its original packaging - once a part has been trimmed or welded it cannot go back. Return shipping is at your cost, and we ask that returns come by USPS. Made-to-order, sale and clearance items are final sale. The full terms are on our returns page.
Can I install this myself?
It is designed for an at-home install. Read the fitment notes and the Installation tab on this page before you start for anything that needs drilling, trimming or welding, and where an installation guide or video exists for the part it is linked there.
