1965 valiant gas cap

I found a solution for the gas cap. While at the local junk yard this weekend, I pulled the filler tube and cap out of an early 70’s Dodge truck for $8.00. took it home and in about an hour I had the problem taken care of. I pulled the filler tube out of the Valiant and cut about an inch off of the cap end. Then cut the truck filler tube about an inch and a half from the cap end. I had to expand the pipe a little so the slipped over each other. After putting things together and making sure everything lined up so the handle on the cap was level, I marked it and pulled it out. Soldered it together, then put it back in the Valiant. For $8.00 and a hour I now have a gas cap that looks original, that’s not obsolete and all I have to do is remember if I need another cap is to get one for a 78’ truck. Since all the work is done under the quarter panel and the jack is there, you have to stick your head down and look for it to see It.
