Fuel filler patch

I know I've seen these but after hours of going though suppliers , no luck . So does anybody know who handles the patch to eliminate the 1953 left side cab fuel filler .

Build your own ?

Not sure if the '53 poses a specific problem, but for my '50 I used 18 ga flat metal and cut my own

Agreed I can make my own but as much of this build , my time @ $50/h on other peoples stuff is more valuablely spent than on things that don't take 5 or6 hours to build where $30 or$ 40 will buy it . Much more involved than yours GJPilcher compound curve as OK F1 showed .

I used a Mid-Fifty Gas filler hole patch on my '56 Coe, and they make one for 53-55 also. Part # 1650-5355. Worked fine.
$22.50.

Regards, Mark.

The last one I did I just used a spare cab corner that I had. Cut out the piece that covered the filler hole and welded it in...
$30 from Midfifty...http://www.midfifty.com/item.php?INV...r-53-56-driver
