No, mine is a Blazer with a Doubler so no deep frame or good points of reference to compare to your set up. Here are a couple of pics of mine, if nothing else it'll help show the PTO opening / fill plug comparison.

Honestly, now that I'm looking at my old pics I think I may have filled it through the hole in the PTO cover rather than through the opening in the case (prior to installing the cover).
 
Oh yeah, now I can see it. Looks totally different in the truck compared to sitting flat on the bench. I can see the PTO cover is much higher than I was thinking.

Your pictures are not helping me resist the temptation to add some aluminum bling to my case. :p

tap the PTO cover for a fill plug or buy one of Kert's

and I don't think you'll need to be clocked all that much with the taller/flatter frame.

Last time I looked thru Kert's site I couldn't find the PTO covers.

DOO EEEET!! :pimp:

Mine were made by a guy on Pirate named Mad Mac but he had some product delivery "issues" and is gone now. NWF makes some but they're powder coated black, DIY4X also makes them in steel as I've seen them in the "PTO Support Kit" but they're not listed separately. I don't know of anyone making blingy versions.
 
If you weld the O2 bung, i believe you be looking for a M18×1.5 trans drain plug commonly found on imports and available at your local Napa...

I would have a hard time running something with NWF's logo on it. :doah:

Here I was just thinking the O2 bung threads would make things difficult.

Thanks, and I'm pretty sure ORD has pro covers with an npt fitting. Or I know they did.
 
Drill and tap it.

Chrome don't get you home. But it does get the chicks!

I said that too. Still havent. My knobs were the model for em. I also need a cover for my g56.

I wish the knobs came in anodized colors, something close to the original yellow.

You need to talk him in to making the bezels. With replacement knobs and bezels the Spicers would last forever
 
Unfortunately the knobs themselves didn't really take off. Not alot of demand even though there are literally DOZENS of us.
