cab fuel filler hole patch panel for 1957 #190913 10/05/2005 7:47 PM

I am putting in a rear tank, the truck is a flat bed, and I want the filler at the tank. Does any one make a patch panel with the correct curve to fill this hole? If not, any tricks on how to make one? John.

You will probably have to smooth it out with some filler any way after welding and grinding. You can always leave the filler tube in place and put a locking cap on it.
