Re: 77 k10 short box winter beater build

I got the fuel filler figured out. The only bummer is that the gas cap won't sit flush with the body, it will be on top of the body. It just took some measuring, and eye balling. It's a straight shot to the tank inlet, runs right in front of a cross member, and it looks like there will be enough fall from the filler to the tank. I think I will weld in a backer to double the thickness of the box side where the filler screws to the side, then I'll shim the neck to get the cap as close to the body as I can. Then I'll have to fab up a cover for the inside of the box. Overall I'm happy with the way it worked out. I will probably have to make a little splash shield to keel the slop off the part of the neck under the box as well.
