"If the body trim lines up, then it's a 73-77.5. You MIGHT want to consider grafting the square door from your old bed into the new one. The older beds are notorious for not accepting gasoline when filling up. It gets very frustrating. The older beds had a painted, exposed gas cap to cover the fuel filler opening."
I have a later 70's bed that I am thinking of grafting in the early seventies fuel filler exposed cap,and closing off the mid ship door,,,My question is to the folks that have the exposed fuel cap filler ,Is it hard to fill your rear tank? Any thoughts much appreciated Thanks dave
I have trouble filling my 73 , have to hold the fuel nozzle all the way in and not run it full blast on most pumps. None of my four 79s and 79 bronco were that way. I have been thinking about changing mine as i have a couple of the lids along with some extra box metal .
Early this year a guy posted free fuel doors with surrounding sheet metal. He got tired of tripping over the box in his garage.....I jumped on it... like a hobo on a ham sandwich.
The plan is to graft them on my 70 to get rid of the aftermarket aluminum fuel doors.
HIO do you need the plastic piece that holds the filler neck and mounts on the back side of the surround?
Thanks Rich. No, don't need them cuz I'll be just using the doors to get rid of the aluminum doors and holes. The Lo-Buck Bumpside (LBB) will be getting a rear-mounted International Scout tank from MTS.
