Here is a couple of shots of what I did. Since everyone does not have access to a MIG welder and I like to try different things, here's what I did.
1. I made a paper template of the recessed area where the original fuel filler went.
2. I cut a piece of 20 gauge metal to match the template.
3. I used a ball peen hammer and a piece of plywood to gently hammer a curved rounded shape to the metal cutout.
4. I continiously checked the contour until I was satisfied with the over all shape of the filler piece.
5. I drilled 1/8" holes in the body and filler piece and helt them in place with "small" sheet metal screws until I was satisfied with the fit.
*do not use large screws or you will open up the holes and your pop rivets won't hold.
6. I wire brushed the cab and bottom of the filler until they were clean, wiped them down with Ospho or Gem Rust Killer and let it dry.
7. I mixed up a batch of JB Weld and used it as a bonder under the filler piece I made and used stainless steel 1/8" pop rivets to attach the filler.
8. I smoothed the JB Weld out and let it cure until the next day and then I started filling with body filler.
Dead easy, its been over 4 years since I've done the job, and there is no hint of a crack.
Hope this is what you're asking about. If not, I have photos of how I mounted my filler neck in the bed of my truck.
Merry Christmas " ya'll.
