gas filler cover

Post by davejb851 »

Not a big modification, but just the same. The spring? mechanism for the gas filler cover is rusted and broke. While I'm not really a fan of the chrome replacement covers, it might just be a better alternative to the $175 the dealer wants for a color matched new one.
Any opinions on a good one? I looked at the usual chain parts store stuff and it's mostly junk or universal.....crap!

Is there one made to fit the s-10? :twisted:

There is one for the S-10 but it will not fit our Isuzu bed. Our cover is not flat. All the aftermarket covers are flat. We have the Isuzu fender bulge to deal with.
To the best of my knowledge there are no options other than the stock door.

Figures, I go search for 'gas filler cover' or something like that and it's called a fuel door and has already been answered!
Well at least I tried to search. :idea:
