Re: Yet another GMC build
Many years ago (late 70's to mid 80's) my dad had a '65 stepside (same bed) & he cut a hole in the back fender...right about where your tail lamp is. There was a 90* bend just like yours but turned angled back & used the end of the original neck, cap, grommet, ect. There was no trouble at all filling it. I dont know what the tank was from...could have been about anything that fit (GM). I dont know if it was because of the longer angle (not so sharp) before the bend or maybe the gas pumps didnt have as fussy of shut-offs back then? It couldnt have been at most an inch higher than yours. It was just below the bodyline & looked like it belonged there! Ironically it was Orange with a White roof. Lorne
