Mysterious tank opening inside the cab... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Under the passenger side of my seat there is a tube opening like a gas tank and would drain under the cab if something was poured down... Any ideas??

Ah hell thats for the beer chest just stop and get ice and more beer and dont have to worry about ice chest overflowing with water!

tiggamonsta · 09-10-2008, 07:03 PM

That is so the water can run out, when you park it on the front lawn and plant flowers in it.

The"tube"is a sealtite flex 90 degree connector.It's an electrical part.
I ain't got a clue as to what they put it there for.

ALL of it sounds good though

Alan's Classic · 09-10-2008, 11:10 PM

I think it is where they wired in the power flux inductor. I think that's what they called it in "Back to the future"

Maybe the PO used it as an emergency exit for any paraphanalia he didn't wanna get caught with... beats throwing it out the window.

joe231 · 09-10-2008, 11:52 PM

yeah definitely a liquid-tite conduit fitting
haven't a clue why it is there though

Any other signs of having a CB radio? Like mounting holes under the dash and an antenna mount in the bed?

Ah ha. That must be what its for, There is a small circular hole in the roof, most likely for an antenna and there are mounting holes on the dash and the radio is gone... I figured there was a CB but didnt know that the opening on the floor could have been related.
