Most 46 Chevys I have seen have a leather gromet where the gas fill tube goes into the body. Mine has a disk that screws to the cab with rubber under it. I have seen pictures of others like that but would like to know why the difference?

Keep the disc and screws. it's original. The big fat ugly grommets are repro stuff. You can remove the screws and cutout a new rubber or leather gasket to fit the filler tube and hole properly. I saw a very nice restoration of a '40 this weekend with all original stuff save for the rubber grommet, and that was a major eyesore!

The 'disk' is factory for sure. The rubber underneath is factory as well. Leather was used under the disk during WWII due to rubber shortages far as I know.
