If anyone needs a new (chrome) fuel filler, here is a good price on one:

(the chrome plating should increase your mileage, elevate your chick magnet status and make your truck run much faster)

Jon - They must really be desperate to move these off the shelf - LOL! 80% off ($79.99 down to $16.22) is a clear signal that they may not be all that popular - hahaha! dang

What's the point of having that part chromed since its behind the seat where nobody can see it? Maybe that's why nobody's buying them.

The point? Point of view, I suppose. Look at all the chromed aftermarket engine parts nobody sees.

Part of the filler does stick thru the grommet to the outside of the cab, so that much is visible from outside. And THAT is what increases your mileage, chick magnet status, speed AND horsepower. LOL!

Probably just as easy to chrome the whole thing than just the part that's visible outside the cab.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

The reflective nature of the chrome reduces fuel temperature by 50%. Cool fuel = HP.

Trust the science.

I don't think this is a bad price for the gas cap, connecting hoses and clamps. The filler neck is basically free.
