Been searching on here looking at gas cap options and seen a number of guys saying they went to local parts store and just grabbed one.
I'm hoping to find one with a style similar the one I posted below. Anyone know if there are any available in this style that will fit and more importantly seal on our trucks?
Ideally be all black or chrome with black handle part. Part numbers and or links would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Believe the cap I need would be vented for my '70 with a 383 big block.
If the one above can't be sourced for our trucks then I wouldn't be opposed to a completely flat topped one with the knurled edges. Don't want a locking cap...
As a note on lifestyle era truck gas caps. THEY ARE NOT VENTED. Tanks are vented. No vent and tank can collapse. I know as I did that 37 years ago in my 66 and the tank collapsed.
I came across the one you posted but can't tell if it's vented or not and also don't want the warning label which looks to metal and affixed underneath the raised part you grab with your hand.

So to clarify, you're saying the one that I posted and example another person posted are from the newer trucks and are non-vented yet I need vented correct? That's how I've read this thread.
If the tank in your truck does not have a vent running from TANK to under the cab or into a charcoal canister then you WILL need a vented cap or you will collapse your tank and your truck will probably starve for fuel. That said you can always install a vent to the tank if it does not have a provision for it by putting one into the gas gauge module.
In the E Bay pictures you will see what looks like a hole in cap . That is a spring loaded pressure release. Not a vent.
