Hi ya, Bill! Well, I was cruising along in my trusty (not rusty!) 1985 F250 (styleside) yesterday when, KABLAMMO, my drivers side rear tire blew out! Along with plenty of new body damage to fix I am now in need of a new bed side stabilizing strut, the black and chrome body-side moulding piece aft of the wheel well, both front and rear fuel filler pipes and the black plastic thingies that the outboard ends of the fill pipes secure to. I’m not really sure what they would be called but they are the black fillers or shrouds that you see around the filler cap and neck when you open the fuel doors. Sorry for the sketchy description. My hands are still a little shaky as this all happened westbound on the 10 right at the 15 at highway speeds. Oh, and I was pulling a trailer just to make it more interesting!
As always, thanks for all you do for all of us!

Finding these parts NOS will not be easy, I doubt that anyone has them. You'll probably have to hit the pick-a-part yards.
I know there's one in San Berdoo, but the best one IMO is Ecology Auto Wrecking in Santa Fe Springs.
A pal owns a truck wrecking yard in L/A (on Alameda-west of South Gate). I doubt he has anything this old, but...I could have him put a request on the Wreckers "Hot Line" for similar trucks to yours.
That black part the cap comes thru is held on with 4 screws 2 of them hold the fuel door in place.
The cap or neck of the filler is held to the black plastic with 3 screws.
There should be a support tab on the under side of the bed floor think off the cross members that support the hose assy. with a hose clamp.
Then you have the hose on the tank held with a clamp also.
Undo the 4 screws at the fill door, the clamp at the support tab and the clamp at the tank and the whole assy. should come out.
