in bed gas filler
 
hi, I was wondering how difficult it would be to put a gas cap on the wheel well instead of the center of the bed, I am planning on buying the blazer style relocation tank but I don't want to cut a hole in my bed. my plan is to pit a Camaro style cap and filler in the bed and route it to the tank. another problem I would be facing in the Camaro filler is 1 and 1 half inches and the tank is 1 and 3 eights. Has anyone tried this before and how hard would the fab be?


-this is for a 72 chevy K10 long bed 4x4

Go to a muffler shop and have them make up a short piece. They can probably expand a piece to the dimensions you need. Then use the appropriate size of gas hose on each end to mount the filler!

My Autozone store has exhaust tubing adapters, you might be able to find the right thing there.
I didn't want the gas filler inside the bed, anticipate that I'll have a camper shell on my truck in the future so I put the filler to my 31 gallon tank in the wheel well.
