NJ WTB stepside filler neck and hose

[NJ C10 Guy]

I'm losing my mind trying to fill my tank with the fleetside setup in there now. I have an 86 if it matters at all. Can't seem to find anyone making aftermarket parts either. Thanks in advance.

[1774btcrew]

No aftermarket parts for these at all. About 3 weeks ago I sold a nice one with the hoses.

[NJ C10 Guy]

Damn, i just missed out. I know you're big into parts. If you come across one please let me know. Also, is there any difference in the years, or are they the same year over year?

[1774btcrew]

The ones with the gas doors are different than the ones with the exposed caps. Right now I only have one for exposed gas cap

[NJ C10 Guy]

Gotcha. I have a gas door. Thanks for the heads up. If you come across one please keep me in mind.

[NJ C10 Guy]

Bump. Anything out there?

[NJ C10 Guy]

Bump again. Hopefully someone has one they can part with. Getting to be a real PITA filling up my truck.

Is your fender designed with the plastic cup around the filler neck or does the neck just screw to metal inside the door?

I honestly don't know. it's an '86 if that helps. The truck came with a setup for a fleetside that I have to contort to make work when I fill it. I can take a picture if that helps?

I know on fleetside trucks, an 86 would have the plastic surround. I just don't know if stepsides were the same way. Mid 1978 of so GM switched to gas doors on Stepsides and Fleetsides.

Yeah I definitely have a gas door, but past that I'm not much help. I really wish someone would just make an aftermarket setup. These trucks are making a comeback in popularity so I'm sure there would be some demand for them.

[1774btcrew]

If you can PM me with your phone number. I can send some pictures.

[1774btcrew]

The rubber hoses are SUPER hard to find in good shape too. I don't know why they aren't reproduced.

[NJ C10 Guy]

If I could find a way to make this work, I'd buy it. I just don't want to waste money.

what is the diameter of the opening on your tank?

[chrismoore701]

This is what i did just a couple years ago

If i recall. I had to cut one in half and add a piece of pipe to splice it. And twist it like 180 degrees.

They both work great. If I’m not mistaken the 80s beds have plastic inserts. But i grafted my fuller necks to the plastic insert and they have been working with no issues.

Good luck

Funny enough, I actually commented on that thread. I'm up for trying, I just hate throwing money away. What are the differences in the years? It seems like I should be able to make it work even if mine is an 86.

Not sure if it helps any, but this is what I did on a black stepside I sold a couple years back. I recall I bought 2 sections of hose plus a bent tube, worked out ok. Wish I had more info 4 u.

Hey Scott, how have you been? That may have been the stepside I wanted to buy from you but was a couple days late on. I'm going to look into a couple options and make a decision on what to do for this hose. It's really a pain trying to get the gas nozzle into the hose. Sometimes it takes a while.

If you are just wanting to put gas in it, you can buy hose for the neck at Napa. Don't know if that helps or not but just throwing that out there.

[chrismoore701]

I looked into that and was not feasible. But check it out

[chrismoore701]

Maybe the length of the metal neck. I can take some pics of mine tonight if i can’t find some

[ScottH]
