What did the fuel door and filler come from? This a mod I plan on using in my build.

*FormerMember* · 05-23-2008, 05:21 PM

I like the mirrors too.

70' GMC · 05-23-2008, 06:46 PM

Tell more about the gas tank relocation with some extra pics. PLEASE PLEASE with sugar on top!!!!

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 06:47 PM

Started project October of 2004, finished December 2007, so a little over three years. My buddy from high school painted it and his friend did the body work.

The seat is a split bench from a early 2000 Ford F-150.

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 07:12 PM

Gas tank filler is out of a Ford F-150 I believe.

Back shot of filer housing. I will find a better photo.

chevy72blu · 05-23-2008, 07:19 PM

Great lookin truck. Hopefully I'll get to see it in person one day in PHX =D

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 07:22 PM

Full shot of seat. I wish I would have done cloth for the hot, sticky AZ summers.

boundstaffpress · 05-23-2008, 07:23 PM

Looks beautiful. I really like the cream color in the center section.

**Yukon Jack** · 05-23-2008, 09:22 PM

Very nice!!! The seat works perfect and looks great, I could care less that it is out of a Ford. It works!

Those mirrors look awesome too - very few of that style look right - those do. What are they from?

OrangeCrush1970 · 05-23-2008, 09:26 PM

Oh man, Im in love w/ your truck. That is N I C E!

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 10:02 PM

I have no idea where the mirrors came from. I have looked all over and can't find them.

They came with the truck. I was going to chnage them but I like how they look.

unreconstructed1 · 05-24-2008, 12:14 AM

hanks for leting us know about the gas tank relocation. I have been wanting to do this to my truck for a while now, and I have been trying to find a gas filler door that would work

jpabberton · 08-26-2008, 10:56 PM

Separated a belt on my left front tire Saturday and now they don't make the tires anymore. I'm not gonna put a different tire on so I gotta buy 4 new ones.

Please send me your advice and photos so I can decide if I should change thread style or not. Will only be driving on pavement to and from shows and weekends. No snow, rain, mud or desert driving.

Hey John,

Where are you working now? I called Lutron for a problem we were having with the graphic eye system and they said you were not there anymore.

MadCow · 08-22-2011, 11:38 PM
