After leaving another gas cap at a gas station somewhere, I found that NAPA carries an excellent chrome replacement. Fits better than the repops, it's cheaper ($5.99) and no shipping charges: NAPA stock number 703-1220.

I have only had my truck for a week and have already lost a gas cap. My solution was to buy a locking cap so that I had to put the cap back on to have my keys available for me to drive off. The one I bought was $35.00 but worth it.

I'd like to find one of those tractor style gas caps with the chain that connects to the center.

When the cap is off, it just kinda dangles from the chain.. then when you put it back on, the chain goes down inside the filler neck.

The cap I have on my '46 is some real basic looking deal I got from Wal Mart for $2.99.. i'll have to check out the NAPA one.


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

smac has the best solution for not only does it require your key to remove and install it, but with today's cost of gas and the increasing issue of theft you wont be apt to come out of Doggie's Diner only to find your gas gone.

I switched over to a locking gas cap last year.
