Fits better than the repops, it's cheaper ($5.99) and no shipping charges: NAPA stock number 703-1220. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 7 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 7 | 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. http://www.bowtiebits.com/Catalog/gas_cap_-_locking_bowtie_4383466.htm | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,439 Moderator - The Electrical Bay | | Moderator - The Electrical Bay Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,439 | I just put mine inside the bed... cant loose it..

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.

I switched over to a locking gas cap last year.
