Aftermarket fuel caps

[malcolmzilla]

With my Bronco nearing final paint prep, my painter keeps asking me what to do about the filler neck:

That looks like ass - do something about it dammit!

As a temporary measure I have been using one of the caps that I salvaged off my donors, I am using the 68 neck and the 77 tank - so I had to weld up the filler one size at the tank and modify the vents.

I was contemplating doing a billet fuel door (BST, Aero, etc) but I actually have the 68/77 filler working well - fills fast with no puking or leaks, and between the warflares and bed rails I am limited on space - most doors are >4", and
I don't mind the cap look, and don't really want to have to cut and weld the filler neck again.

Thus was thinking perhaps a nice billet cap would look ok, preferably one that recesses a bit and sit close to the body. Any ideas? My truck will be Legend Lime with black grille center, flares, wheels, softtop and trim.

I found these @ California Mustang - they do not come with the trim ring though, but fit a 67-74 Mustang so should fit the 68 Bronco filler.

Thanks.

Doing a search and came across this post. My bronco is getting ready for paint and was wondering if you figured out your fuel cap issue. What did you end up doing and do you have any pics?

Thanks

I went with the Scott Drake restomod billet cap.
Fit my 68 filler neck fine.

Put these F250 doors on mine. Like them a lot, but I had to build my own necks and pockets!;D

I used a kawasaki zr6 cap. I like the size and look, but it fills like crap. I think I'll rework it this spring.
