Flare side & Style side fuel filler door assy.

[FuzzFace2]

I was installing a rear tank filler door assy. to my Flare Side (FS) and was going to use 1 of the door assy. from my Style Side (SS) parts truck and ran into a little issue.

This was the first issue I found when mixing parts to hook up the front filler pipe and put a stop on the door install. As you can see the mounting screws between the 2 are different along with the plastic box (see last picture).

FS 5-1/8" SS 3-15/16"

Found the rest out today, the doors are also different sizes

FS 6-1/2"x6-1/4" SS 6-3/16"x6-3/8

And the shape of the doors are also different

FS flat SS curved

The whole door, plastic box & filler tube assy.

I did not keep track of what filler tubes went where on the SS and what I had from the FS was a hacked mess.

So, what's the plan, Stan? Do you have the needed doors?

I asked in another thread if the doors were the same between the styleside and the flareside. The one thing missing from the flareside bed I just bought is the fuel door, so I need to go scrounging for one of those now, and I was curious if they were all the same or not. Looks like not. Thanks Dave.

Stan has it under control or fakes it real good

My brother sent me a flare side part of the fender & filler assy. when he sent the tail gate.

A little fiber Glass and it is installed.

I have not seen what pipe assy. will work yet but I am sure I can come up with something between the parts I have, style side pipe & hose are the same dia. just different shapes from the flare side parts, and if not a boat shop should have something......I hope.

Sorry to say if you need one to fit the flare side opening it has to be a flare side door & plastic box (for a better name) because the screw hole spacing as posted above are different between them.

Now I was just thinking I wonder what the DRW trucks use for filler doors?

I would guess being fiber glass fenders it would be the flare side doors but then again the fender are bolted to a style side bed so who knows?

If I could figure out how to look up parts on the CD I might be able to tell.

If you measure the bolts or yours before hitting the JY and find a DRW truck and measure it might be the way to go?

See if today's new page helps with that: Exterior/Fuel Filler Doors.

That works .... but I think the flare side / duel wheel should have a "B" at the end of the part number you have in the text.

Or am I reading it wrong?

So in short flare side & duel wheel use the same door & plastic box.

Thanks Gary

You are right, and I changed it to a "B".

Can you post a better picture of the flare side door? That style might just be perfect for the front fuel door on my Centurion. I converted from the 87-97 style to the 80-86 style when I put my quarters on, and I forgot to test fit the older door, and it won't work.

What better picture do you want?

Both of my flare side doors are installed on the fender / truck but once I know what you are looking for picture wise I will see what I can do.
