Bed Swap

Hey guys, so today I just picked up an 86 bed for my 75, and was wondering how difficult is it to adapt the 75 fuel filler hose and pipe to the 86 opening?

Re: Bed Swap

I was thinking of just buying the black surround and modifying it to fit with the 75 filler.

Re: Bed Swap

Aren't they on different sides ('75 on pass side, '86 on driver's side)?

That could be tricky -

I was lucky enough to find a dual tank bed

Re: Bed Swap

If you do, tell me! I swapped my pass. bedside off my 77 with an 84 and don't want to have to buy a new fuel filler and piping. If you can make it work, just post pictures

I'll take a shot and see if I can make it work, but I still have to buy the fuel filler door for the bed and the black plastic surround. If it doesn't work, I'll just swap the bed sides.

Re: Bed Swap

Alright guys, so it turns out I'll only be needing the DRIVERS bed side from the 86, so there's no need to modify my current 75 gas filler. Thanks a lot for all the input though guys!
