Paint looks very nice. That is a beautiful truck. I noticed the gas tank was put under the bed. What did they do for the fuel filler?

Some of you may already know this but here's an easy way to clean your antenna a dremel tool , jewelers rouge, and aluminum wax.....
This antenna was really oxidized pretty bad but didn't need sanding down so I started out with a rouge for cutting, then one for polishing, I used the small cotton wheel for the dremel tool you can buy at your local hardware store. Finished it off with a nice coat of aluminum polish.....

I'd love to see more pics of your fuel filler setup. I've got a Blazer tank in my '68 but have no idea how I'm going to get go-juice in the thing. This looks like a pretty slick idea.

Basically its a steel box that was fabricated and welded together, theres a 2 1/2" round hole cut in the floor pan and on top of the box. Epoxy primed on the inside and mig welded into the floor pan added seam sealer around it before it was prepped and painted. The cap is a boat fuel filler and cap with a 8" sleeve that is hose clamped on to a 2 1/2" rubber filler hose. Pretty simple design some of the other guys on the board have run it thru the rear tailight housing. hope this helps ..... I will try and get some additional picture for you....

Nice truck! Can't wait to see it lowered, there's just something about a stock looking truck that has been lowered and slapped with a nice wheel/tire combo.
