Filler neck questions....
 
I like the location and looks of the stock gas cap on my 1970 but I dont want to have the tank in the cab with me. I want my original gas cap to be functional but I want the tank relocated. Has this been done before? or is it even possible? I would probably be better off just making the cap look origanial and hiding the true filler neck elsewhere but if there is a slick way to make it work I would like to try. If anyone has ideas or can find a thread about this I would appreciate it.

you could always build a custom frame mounted tank to fit inside the frame rails and run the neck thru the cab but if it was me i would just relocate the tank and hide the cap and have the original just look like it is usable.

Thats what I'm thinking too. It would be more simple. While im in the mood to ask ?'s I was wondering if anyone had tried stuffing an a/c unit out of a later model truck under their dash. I would think that this is a log shot but it would save me $1300 by not buying one of those kind that vintage air makes. I dont want to have all that stock a/c **** under my hood cluttering up everything either. So if anyone knows of a later model a/c unit that one could modify to work that would be awesome.
