Yeah jason--it came out of my 67CS along with all the other parts to switch my gas tank.

THX for the comments guys---been itching to get back to page 1 :lol: and I'll do my best to keep the pic's rollin :thup:

Next plan is to get cab lined up with bed and tack my cab mounts in place before I pull the cab off the frame(jww--I'll use your info for ref. and make sure theres lots of pic's 4 u :thup: )

Ryan your door turned out good and I was glad to have a little preview(wouldn't mind having your seasonal weather either)of how it would look :thup:

yes, a dentside with the front bed tank will work. grab the door, some sheetmetal, the box behind it, and the filler neck. then decide where you want it exactly (not much room for movement but you have about an inch or two each direction of play) so that the filler neck will connect to your tank no problem.
