Very cool. I've often thought that I wouldn't want to delete the cap even if I deleted the fuel tank in one of these. Glad to see the innovation, and it's cool that you're applying your real life skills and knowledge to provide a well-designed option.

There is a For Sale thread. You are 11th on the waiting list, so you just barely missed the first run of 10. I do have one hand-made unit still available, and it's yours for $100 plus shipping if you want it. Photos of it can be found on the second post here:

Hey PJMoreland, I installed the dummy filler neck and it worked out perfectly. I used the old factory grommet and used blue loctite on the four screws. The older grommet was actually tighter on the neck than the new grommet. So everything work nicely and in my opinion was worth the purchase. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to keep the original gas cap look when removing the tank.

Wow, I was hoping my pics would have came out right, but they did not. Here are a few more. These are before and after new filler neck install.

Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing the photos. Did you use it with a 71-72 style grommet?

D.B · 02-12-2022, 03:06 PM

Yes, I kept the one that came with the truck (72) and used it with your filler neck. It actually fit the neck perfectly. And I like the look of this set up because it matches the aux tank cap and neck.

That's good information. I will modify the For Sale listing to let other people know they can use an OEM 71-72 grommet with it.

PJ,
So I do not hi-jack your post I will try to put one together with a few pics of my truck so you get a better look of it. As you can tell by my very low numbers I have only replied a few times and never started a post of my own. But what the heck, I will give it try.
