Re: Dummy Filler Neck for 67-72 Trucks with Removed In-Cab Tank
I was informed yesterday by the machine shop that their laser cutting machine went down and orders are backing up while getting the machine fixed. This is a different shop than I used last time, so I canceled that order, and placed a new order with the shop I used last time. They quoted four weeks, but last time they had the parts done in about two. I'm sorry about the delay.

Got mine on today.
Super easy install. Looks factory And some sweet patina fell out of the front cab support. Closer to an air ride cab yet.

Looks like you tightened those four larger screws a bit. Did they help snug up the fit? |

Maybe a turn more than touching. Seemed like it tightened the whole deal up.
Very happy with the install and end result. Thank you

And only the locking cap because that's what I had.
Still want the chrome one with a springy snake to surprise someone

Re: Dummy Filler Neck for 67-72 Trucks with Removed In-Cab Tank
Probably 60% of the reason I got it.
40% for deleting the cab tank and not having to fix the hole

Just checking to see if you have had a chance on the 60-66 grommet fitment.

Re: Dummy Filler Neck for 67-72 Trucks with Removed In-Cab Tank
I did purchase a 60-66 grommet, and I see that the filler neck passes through it at an angle. Also, the cab hole is smaller on 60-66, so the 67+ grommet won't work. I plan on trying a couple of different ways of dealing with that angle once I've fabricated this next batch.

Re: Dummy Filler Neck for 67-72 Trucks with Removed In-Cab Tank
Thundarr, who made the original suggestion to make this dummy filler neck work with an AC power outlet, posted a photo of it in his build thread. Thank you, Thundarr!
https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...70#post9050170 By the way, in this next batch, I am going to use standard pan-head screws instead of flat-head screws on the regular non-power-outlet version. For those of you who plan on attaching a power outlet, you will need to let me know so I can machine the countersinks for flat-head screws for you. |
