It was nice weather here in Oregon on Friday so I hit the wrecking yard for a short list of items. Didn't get wet. Did get very, very dirty. Didn't seem to make any blood (which is unusual for me). The pre-'87 GM truck rubber fill pipes sure had the right bend in them but they were 1.5" ID not 2". I think some models of F*** have 2" rubber inlets with 90* bends but could not find one that was easy to get at so I'm giving up and going the NAPA route.
I did walk out of there with the fuel door and surrounding fender metal from an Eff-word truck. This is going to get grafted into Halfbreed once I solve the fill pipe routing. I also snagged some vapor canister tubes/fittings and a fan shroud set that were MIA on my donor truck.
