Locking gas cap

Ok I'm sure this has been posted but does anyone make a locking gas cap for the seat tank in my 65?
The local guy only had black plastic was hoping for chrome.

Ford made a vented chrome locking gas cap for the 1961/72 F Series pickups. It also fits: 1960/70 Galaxie/LTD exc wagon; 1966/70 Falcon exc wagon; 1967/69 T-Bird; 1968/69 Fairlane/Torino exc Ranchero.

FWIW- i had a locking gas cap on my f-350 some years ago and after about 5 or 6 years the rubber dried out and i never noticed it and it let a whole lot of moisture into the tank. there was a few years where i didn't use the truck and as a concequence it ruined the tank. so keeep an eye on that, especially if your truck sits outside.

At least in my case, found the locking do not seal as well as the non, although nons have a tendency to leak also. No longer top tank. Purchase 1 on ebay and it was junk, purchased another at local Napa parts store, it's not the low profile type, looks more like a hocky puc.

Could not get the ebay site posted to open. Not sure if referring to same items, but came across couple on ebay. Hard to say it's been some time ago, however, with item # 320121178120, looking at the underside in item description it looks very familiar, not much of a seal and leaked like a sieve. The primary problem was half the time could not get the key out, locking mechanism very poor. With regards to item # 3001188684880, not sure, like I said, been some time ago, does not appear to be the low provide type and more simular to the type purchased at Napa, don't believe paid more than $15. Did not think at the time should have inquired if they could order the other type so I could have at least looked at it.

The Ford locking cap I referenced above is just a bit larger than the neck and uses a thick gasket. When you put it in, you press firmly on the cap. It's a tight fit.
