Hey i have a 66 chevy truck and i just bought an under the bed gas tank. the problem is that i can't figure out how the sending unit and lock ring are attached to the gas tank. I bought the gas tank from gmc pauls, if that helps any. Also what is the best way to run so that i can fill the tank up from inside the bed. can i buy a kit to do this. anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. thanks

You install the o-ring gasket then the sender and then the retaining ring slides over the sender and under the outer ring. When you tap the ring clock-wise under the outer ring, the taper should make the sender fit tighter to the gasket.

Put a tiny bit of lube on the rubber gasket or it may roll,causing it to not seal properly!

Marine supply stores generally have a fuel cap that you can mount in the bed on the bed wood, if you want to put it there.

I know it's a common place to put it, I just don't think it is good place to do it. If you have a tonneau cover or a load in the bed, it will make it difficult to fill. I've noticed that GM Venture or TransVan minivans have a self rimming gas cap that might be easy to mount in a fender. Just a thought.
