Which do I need: Gas Tank Filler neck or just rubber hose? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, when I put gas in, I notice it dripping on the ground. I THINK it's coming from the rubber hose. What's the different between the:
Fuel-Tank Filler Neck
Filler Neck Hose

The Filler Neck is $45, and the hose is only $16. I'd like to be able to just get the hose..but is that gonna fix my problem?

The filler neck is made of metal, has a ground strap, and has a small vent hose connected to it.

The filler neck hose is the main hose that leads to the fuel tank.

A new filler neck hose and worm clamps should fix your problem. There's only one way to be sure though.....Get under the truck and see what's up.

mine did that when it was oner 3/4 tank, and the fuel lines on the top of the tank were done. New hoses did the trick there.

Yeah, I figured out, that a FILLER NECK, is the metal piece that bolts to the side of the bed...so, I'm gonna go pick up a filler hose 2moro from chevy dealer and hopefully I'll be good to go...

Yuup. The Chevy Dealer actually had it in stock, for $10. It took all of five minutes to put on, and NO MORE LEAKING GAS!!!

How in the HECK did you get yours on? I'm working on replacing both the hoses on my 76 longbed and the hose is 1 3/8", but the neck is easily 1 1/2+ at the lip. I just relooked at original stock on I took off and its also 1 3/8" but the end that goes on the gas filler neck is streeeeeeeeeeeeeetched way the hell out. I've done everything from grease, lube, heat gun, boil hose-freeze neck, just can't stretch it on. Next step is to get a tail pipe expander and see if I can put a stretch on it with that :-/

Are you sure they don't make one that's 1½" specifically for longbeds?

I checked with LMC, YearOne and Classic Industries and they all sold the same 1 3/8" hose. And like I said the stock hose was a 1 3/8" one (verified by the hose markings) but was just stretched the hell out. Oh well, I'll get it eventually.

The one I got from chevy duty had different sizes at each end.
I think you may have the wrong hose.
I think there were 2 or 3 different styles for 73-78 era
