Locking gas cap

[Merlin68F100]

Just because the tank in the cab is an easy target, and it will now hold ~ $45 worth of gas I have been thnking about putting a locking gas cap on my truck. The only issue I have is they are butt ugly IMHO. Anybody have a good looking locking cap?

I have also thought about puttig a chicken wire screen in the filler tube to prevent the use of a Mississippi credit card

How about this one with a nifty cover over the lock?



You can get it here and probably other places too.

You could ugly up the rest of the truck to match the gas cap.

It's not mine, it's from Blue Oval Truck Parts and the link is is my post above. I've been thinking of getting it but it's $$$

Yeah, that is a bit pricey.
I've though about a locking cap, but I think the chicken wire idea is better!

You can get those caps from NPD as well, I've got more than one...

LONG story.

It WILL NOT fit a 72 (and probably 71) without significant modifications.

Yes, in the link above it says through '70.

Yep, just don't make the mistake of thinking "70-72 should be the same thing" They ain't, even though most other gas caps list through 72.

In fact I had a heck of a time finding a cap that actually fit my 72.

I got a new one from lmc very similar to that one but no cover. It looks nice. not one of those plastic ones

will that cap pictured fit a 67 f100?

DC, that sounds pricey but its less than a tank of go-juice. It would only have to work once to pay for its self.

They used to sell a spring to put in there that would not allow a hose to be inserted. Of course they could just go under the truck and cut the rubber fuel line and let the gas run out.
I always figured that any gas I loose to a kid with a hose is small payment for all the gas we siphoned when I was a kid. What goes around, comes around. At todays prices, my truck seldom sits with more that 3-4 gallons in it anymore. I only buy enough to get where I.m going and back.
