Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread

I found that the fuel filler neck that is available at Classic, LMC, etc was $34.00(!!!) so I cross referenced the part number through the Oreilly's and Napa websites and found that Napa has a similar part. The hose is longer but you can just cut to fit it. I paid a more manageable $16 for it.

I did have a hard time with the neck filler vent hose, though. It has a 90 degree bend and is 1/2 inch at the neck filler end and 5/8 inch at the tank end. I had to use 5/8 inch straight hose and clamp it extra tight at the neck end. It looked okay, but when I installed the tank, the hose bent and has a kink that I don't like. It still works okay and will have to do for now, but I will look for a replacement that fits soon. If anyone has any suggestions, please offer them.
