    Converting fuel filler

    Hey guys,
    Im thinking I saw this covered, but cant find it. What parts do you need to convert the fuel filler to the inside of the trunk? Thanks

    Bill,

    Look for the filler neck out of a 67-72 Ford Pickup and then fab a bracket to hold it upright, though the hose will hold it too temporarily. I think if you search Patrick's threads he has a photo of his in a thread from a couple years ago. If I find it, I'll post a link here. I know Kenny and now Joanna both have the same conversion done.

    Bill,

    Here's the pictures from Patrick's car:

    Of course Patrick's is very custom, but you can do it without chroming the tube first.

    I think both Patrick and Kenny used Mustang tanks as well, which have a straight filler neck on the tank, but Kenny did Joanna's at the last tech day without changing tanks.

    Question?

    Hey all,

    Just thought I'd mention that I picked up a pick-up filler tube when I was at the Pull-a-Part this last weekend. Paid $1 for it. Will sell it for $2. It's all cleaned up and ready to go.

    Bill,

    I had two of them (I seem to snatch them if they exist when I'm scrounging though the Pull-a-Part), but one went into Joanna's car at the last tech day and someone who was there (can't recall who) asked for the other one. So I'm out of them at the moment.
