Wrong gas cap maybe???
I now have inside parking for my supercab. When I walk towards the rear, it reeks with fumes. No leaks or drips anywhere. Then I noticed if I remove the gas cap for a bit and let the pressure out and put it back on, the fumes quit for a while. The present cap is a Stant G751. Some NOS Ford caps show up on ebay well just about every week but I don't want to get the wrong one and parts stores often don't have a clue on these old trucks.
OH, my truck does not have evaporative emission which I understand takes a different cap.
An e-bay seller told me D5TZ-9030-E which he has is the correct one.

Ok thanks, obviously I have a non-vented cap on my truck. Since this isn't an evaporative emission truck, there is no rollover valve on top of the tank with the vent hose, nor is there a cannister in the engine compartment. The truck was sold new in Oklahoma which never had emission testing and still doesn't.

I run a parts store vented cap. It has a pressure relief valve which holds quite a bit of pressure or vacuum before it vents. Pressure means leaks or fumes and vacuum may cause vapor lock. I didn't care for that so I "fixed" it. A strategically placed 1/16" hole in the cap and no more problems.

vented gas caps are fitted with a one-way valve, to allow air in and not out. A 1/16" hole is defeating that, and therefore allowing fumes to leak out, and gas to evaporate...
...just saying.

FWIW my particular cap would hold both pressure and vacuum. The "woosh" of air went both ways depending mostly on temp changes. Cool morning, "woosh" in. Move it out and park in the sun, "woosh" out.

I confirmed that in post #6. most caps these days are vented, because every car now days has SOME level of emission control on them. So it is exactly like your newer car, yes that one.
You will know the non vented, because it will lock clockwise, and not go further.
I think the vented is more common than the nonvented.
