Contemplating Purchasing a Locking Fuel Door
I'm looking at purchasing the All Sales 6058CL Billet Fuel Door. I have the Blue Jean Metallic paint. Do you guys think this chrome locking fuel door would look "funky" on my truck? I do have the chrome package so there is lots of chrome allready. Just looking for an extra level of safety in the event fuel runs "scarce".

No pic of your truck posted so hard to tell, but i too have a locking Fuel Door because i dont want fuel stolen or anything else added 
If your undecided on chrome u could try Black against that dark paint, "Bully" makes a nice 1 shown here on my truck (they make chrome too):

Chrome would make it look like one of the little Honda ricers.
A brushed aluminum would be the next better from Chrome.
King-bRanch, Got a question for you about the steps. They are aftermarket?
If so can you give me the name and where to find them please?
Thanks
Sean

Just something to consider if you're concerned about fuel contamination and an HPFP failure, I've spoken with a couple people who had their failure covered under their comprehensive insurance. One of them was covered because the insurance company called it vandalism.
If your fuel door is locked it would be very hard to make a case for vandalism and I think there is a bigger chance of a claim being denied in that unfortunate event. Just my opinion of course.

Cant tell if your Rim's are chrome or machine face 
If your Rim's are chrome u could do a chrome fuel door but if there oem machine face then id go w/a brushed aluminum fuel door....Ultimately its up to u

Wheels are chrome but since the 6.7 and Lariat emblems are brushed I ordered the brushed. I also think that will go better against the dark metallic blue paint. Will post a photo for the benefit of others once it's installed.

That is a good point and something to consider since ford doesn't want to warranty fuel problems.
On the other hand if it were mine and I did decide to get a locking fuel cap I would go with the actual locking cap, not the door. Personally I think the chrome doors look like JCwhitney.

I got nothing against Replacement Doors (had a few) but what i cant stop laughing at are all those chrome "stick-on" accessories....ie: fuel door, door handles & especially EDGE MOLDING 
Jsolve....I think u made a great choice in Brushed

I can't seem to find a quality locking unit. Stant 10591D might fit - IDK.
Does MotorCraft make one I wonder?
Edit: I put back the order (brushed aluminum). Seems high quality and the Amazon price can't be beat. I remember disliking unlocking the fuel cap of my Silverado.

I have no idea why it's showing both links twice.
Anyway, the Motorcraft isn't diesel specific but the Stant is.

I was looking for a locking fuel door....
I found AMI locking one in black is $110
The Bully BBS-1221CK "Black" one is $40.80??
Why such the big price difference?
King-bRanch,
I also like your nerf/step bars....I dont think they make them for a supercab though.
I wounder if the crew cab would fit?
