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.

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.
For Off Road Use Only This product is not intended for use on public roads or highways.

Common questions

Will it drop straight into my bed?

Expect to modify the base slightly. The panel is built to cover a range of years, and no two beds underneath it are the same - a 67-72 floor, a 73-87 floor, a wood floor and a floor with a spray-in liner all sit at different heights. That is why the part ships in raw steel, pre-formed and only tacked together, so you can adjust it to your own bed before it goes in for good.

Can it be welded in, or does it screw in?

Either. Weld it in for a seamless finish, or screw it in using the supplied stainless hardware and the three tapered mounting holes in the flange. Customers have also riveted and bonded them in. The choice is yours.

What are the filler neck dimensions?

Flange diameter 2-15/16", neck diameter 1-1/2", neck length 2-1/4". A universal fill tube joins the neck to the tank, and a side fill tank in 1.5" is the simplest thing to run it into.

Is it sealed against water?

The flip-up cap closes onto the neck face and the retaining chain keeps the cap with the truck, but this is a fuel filler, not a watertight hatch. Anything mounted in a bed floor will see water sitting on it, so seal the panel to the floor when you fit it and treat the cap as a fuel cap rather than a gasketed lid.

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 leaves our warehouse in 1-3 business days. Transit after that is typically 2-5 business days in the United States. Larger orders can arrive in more than one box on different days.
