Gas caps

Post by kf7mjf »

Were there locking gas caps available for the 67 models? If not, will any stock gas cap from 67-72 work? I ask because one cap on my truck is missing the key, and I have to remove it anyway for that reason, and the other one was vandalized recently, and will need to be replaced. I'd just as soon replace with locking gas caps if they are period.

I have always just used a screwdriver to remove a locking gas cap. Are you sure it is all that secure? Just stick a screwdriver in the key slot & turn.

I dont know if the locking cap was available in 67 or not. But I do recall that there are two kinds of caps for the bumpsides. One was vented and one was not. Pretty sure that 67 - 69 were the vented type.
