Gas Cap, Window Roll Down?
I am finally tackling the little things on my 1972 Ford F-100 4X4.
Just for starters it's white, I think it started as blue, has a blue dash, white seat cover. 4 wheel drive. I've put on new brakes and a new 9" rear end. It has a 390-4bbl. 4 speed. Sounds like a inboard motorboat blubing out of true duals. I think I'm going to sell it but fix a few annoying problems first.
Left my gas cap at a filling station, all the ones from the parts stores are not deep enough. The tangs do not go in deep enough to hook. Where to buy a real on that fits?
The pass window is hard to roll down. I took the panel off today and used PB Blaster on every moving part I could find. Rolls up like a champ. I tried to search for these two items but the search may not be working for me since I'm new.

From what you said, I suspect it's the in-cab tank fuel filler tube used with Evaporative Emission, which takes a specific fuel cap.
Without Evaporative Emission...the in-cab fuel cap is the same: 1953/56 F100/950, 1957/66 F100/1100, 1967/69 F800/1000, 1967/72 F100/750.

Had the same trouble with finding a gas cap for my truck. Ended up using a locking gas cap that is not deep enough, but the locks catch long enough to hold.
Saw a site the other day that had two style gas caps - they referred to them as short reach vs. long reach.

It is WITH emissions. That's the reason for the long tangs. That's how Ford made sure people didn't put a vented cap on there. There were different choices. Let me know which one you want and I'll run that on the locator.

Go to the parts store and get a gas cap for a 74 f100 with evap emissions. It will fit. I work at the parts store and found out through trial and error that the caps listed for our trucks are not the right ones.

LMC's fuel cap applications also make no sense. The cap is either 1953/72 (without Evap/Em) or 1970/72 (with Evap/Em).

Ordered a locking cap from Rock. I have the mechanism for the window out on the garage floor. The **** was already broken off the handle because it's so hard to operate. PB Blasted everything and greased everything. I'm soaking the whole deal overnight. I suspect that coiled spring is rusty and giving too hard of a resistance. If the spring doesn't unwind throughout the whole spring it would create great resistance one way and not the other.

Huh. Oreillys listing for the 71 brings up a cap that the tangs are too shallow to engage the neck on my truck. But the listing for a 74+ cap fits perfect.
