Got a cool gas cap installed. It is from Hagan hot rods and comes all assembled. I had to do some major modifications to get it work, like english wheel the cover to form the corner of the cab. Works nice!

Now it ready for paint! :woohoo:

Rattlecan, this is a great thread! That fuel door is awesome! I may do that on my 67, if I don't put in a frame tank.

Thanks! I can get to the cap to take it off but it is a tad tight in there. There is a cool feature, though, I can fuel it up without taking the cap off, there is a spring loaded door within the cap that allows a nozzle to fit into it.
I got it from Hagans street Rods, a friend told me about them. Here is the web site for those who want one.

Really cool place! I did have to do quite a bit of work to make it fit.
This is one of 3 tanks I will have in the truck, gonna need it! :lol:

Well I got some time to paint the rest of the cab last weekend and I put the completed bed back on for good. Also painted the tailgate and installed the new bumper. :yip: I'll be honest, I am tired of sanding! :wf:
