Fuel Door and Bed Rail help

[JBerno]

Guys, I have tried the search function already with no luck. If someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Fuel Door

I came across a photo once of a 1st Gen Blazer that the owner had re-plumbed the gas filler neck and installed a fuel door on the side of his Blazer (similar to one you may see on a newer truck). I am trying to get some more info on it, what was the door originally from, etc. I think it looked pretty slick.

Bed Rails

Same story, I saw one where the owner had fabricated some rails for the top of the bed so that they were the same height as the tops of the doors, they appeared to have the same contours etc as the top portion of the doors.

vtblazer did the fuel door. Here is the thread.

Haven't see the bedrail extension. I think that it would be to high and look kinda weird. If any thing, I would do what Greg did and cut the doors down to match. Just my opinion though.

There isn't a bed rail extension that I know of, it's people cut the top off the door to make it flush with the bedside... Greg was planning on this course at one time IIRC. The only issue is your windows won't roll down all the way if you go this route.

I am going to go the other direction and bring the bed up to meet the door height, I plan on starting that project in a couple of weeks. I don't plan on ever bringing it out in the snow or rain so I may go permanent on it.

I did a fuel filler door from www.amp-research.com

Not sure if they sell them anymore. The door was actually listed for a Ford pickup. The body shop cut out the indentation from a tahoe at the bone yard and it fit.

I will see if I can find a pic
