Chevrolet C8 1940 Cab 11 restoration, The Netherlands

[Alex van de Wetering]

Now for the filler neck....the filler cap had nothing to clamp onto....and the lower half of the filler neck was rusted through (they had just soldered a brass plate on top of the hole). In the end I used a cap for a garden fence post as a base for the rounded end of the filler neck. The ring where the filler cap catches onto came from a CCKW part....I think it's a 352 fuel filler neck. Brian Asbury supplied a NOS GM rad cap.

After some welding and soldering, I pressure tested the filler neck with some hose and caps from the hardware store and a bicycle tyre pump.
