Vented or Not?

Bought the truck a week ago and am still trying to figure everything out. I had posted these pics on my intro thread and did not get an answer so I figured I would start a new thread. Here are pics of my original [I assume because of paint] aft nozzle and cap. Is this a vented or NON vented cap? Thanks!

Thats what I thought until I found the thread below and it confused me as to what I am looking at. I am wanting to put 2 locking caps on it so I need to make sure. Thanks

Be confused no more: Read my posts 7, 10 and 12 in this thread.

Be aware that when I listed the descriptions, the OP confused the two prongs of the fuel caps handle with the 2 protruding ears of his vented fuel cap (which are clearly visable along w/the vent in his pic - post 1).

Your non vented cap has four staggered ears, two above, two below 180 degrees apart. You may have a problem finding a kit at parts stores that contains a pair of keyed alike 4 eared non vented fuel caps.

1973/76 Stylesides have exposed fuel caps. The caps are different 1977/79, because they are behind fuel doors.

1) D7UZ-9030-G (replaced D5TZ-9030-C) .. Locking Fuel Cap Kit ~ Consists of two chrome keyed alike non vented fuel caps (Motorcraft FC-802) / Obsolete

Applications: 1975/76 F100/350 Styleside / 1975/77 Econoline.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 2 = 800-543-4959.

GABRIELLI FORD TRUCK in Medford NY has 2 = 631-758-6200 x 2022.

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has 3 = 606-787-5293.
-------------------------------------------------------------
D5TZ-9030-C =

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS has 4.

GREEN SALES CO. has 5.

Bill, thanks a bunch, you are the man! I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

Any advantage to going with one part number over the other? And without calling them all do you have a preference on which company to deal with [attitude, shipping costs, etc]? Thanks again!

The D5TZ part number might be cheaper than the D7UZ part number, as it's the original part number.

Try the dealer in NY first, they are STUCK with the kit as it can no longer be returned to FoMoCo for credit.

Green & Wesley make their living selling obsolete parts.
