Can't wait to see how the wheels fit. I've got 18x8 and 20x10 Boss 338's waiting to put tires on. I'm going with 255/55's up front, and 305/50's out back. I learned my lesson with low profile tires in Louisiana--might as well just ride on the rims, lol.

Paint looks very nice. That is a beautiful truck. I noticed the gas tank was put under the bed. What did they do for the fuel filler?

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)
 

Thank you the gas filler is mounted inside the bed a steel box was fabricated and welded in.......

Some of you may already know this but here's an easy way to clean your antenna a dremel tool , jewelers rouge, and aluminum wax.....
This antenna was really oxidized pretty bad but didn't need sanding down so I started out with a rouge for cutting, then one for polishing, I used the small cotton wheel for the dremel tool you can buy at your local hardware store. Finished it off with a nice coat of aluminum polish.....

this is a cool project, i dont have one of this year but someday i will, after i build my 83, the 67-72 era truck is next cant wait to see more of this

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)
 

I'd love to see more pics of your fuel filler setup. I've got a Blazer tank in my '68 but have no idea how I'm going to get go-juice in the thing. This looks like a pretty slick idea.

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)
 

Basically its a steel box that was fabricated and welded together, theres a 2 1/2" round hole cut in the floor pan and on top of the box. Epoxy primed on the inside and mig welded into the floor pan added seam sealer around it before it was prepped and painted. The cap is a boat fuel filler and cap with a 8" sleeve that is hose clamped on to a 2 1/2" rubber filler hose. Pretty simple design some of the other guys on the board have run it thru the rear tailight housing. hope this helps ..... I will try and get some additional picture for you....

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)
