Re: 1967 No Frills LWB Fleet

I also pulled the stock gas tank out from behind the seat. It wasn't hooked up and the truck has a saddle tank in it. That'll give me some room for stuff and later for a subwoofer and some of those corner speaker brackets bigblock73 makes.

I wanted to keep the stock filler neck and couldn't figure out what to do because I wanted some neck showing (like stock) and didn't like the idea that some guys do where they basically bolt the gas cap on flush to the grommet.

So I ended up cutting the filler neck off of the tank and just putting a nut and bolt through it so it won't come out. It could get pushed in if someone pushes hard enough but at least I'd know where to find it. It has a nice ridge on it preventing it from falling in by itself.

Later on I filled the neck with some of that foam sealer stuff so that nobody fills my cab with gas. it's pretty easy to do. I've almost done it myself.
