Re: Rebuilding my 1977 plow truck

I only plow my business property downtown which is 2 parking lots and front door areas, my driveway at home and a couple of the neighbors driveways which are more like roads back into the woods. I did at one time plow commercially, I would spend up to 19 hours in this truck at times. I finally had enough of that about 16 years ago and got rid of all my accounts.
As far as the fuel filler doors, the 77 had the fuel caps without doors, when we redid the truck in 92 the new box sides only came with filler doors. The 82 also had filler doors so I just stayed with that. It actually was interesting to get all of the pieces together for the right side filler necks, hoses and vent tubes. Everything was a different size, so I ended up making an adapter from exhaust tubing to get the 79 filler neck to work with the 77 90 degree filler hose on the tank. I used everything on the left side fuel system from the 82 so all that worked without any adapting.
