My trucks not suffering. Thanks for the update.

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.

Nice! Thanks for posting your photos. I like the locking gas cap. Nobody will be putting any gas in there by mistake.

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

Probably 60% of the reason I got it.
40% for deleting the cab tank and not having to fix the hole

No worries about the delay for me, Truck is 1/2 torn down. I want this ready for the reassemble.

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

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.

Thanks. Definitely interested if it will work.

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!

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.

I just got a shipment notification from the machine shop. This current batch might be ready by late next week depending on how quickly the parts get here.

It occurred to me that I need to be able to pull my truck out of the garage to paint the filler necks. My rear axle assembly is removed at the moment, so I'm going to need to spend the next few days getting that put back together before I can paint the filler necks. I'm sorry about the delay.
