Locking metal gas cap for a '73?

[rc73]

Hey everyone. I'm looking for a metal locking gas cap for my '73 K5. I've ordered 5 from vendors displaying pics of the Stant metal caps (which is exactly the look I'm after) and all of them ended up being black plastic. It may be petty, but new plastic on the 50 year patina of my desert bomber doesn't feel right. There are plenty on eBay, but I'm not sure of the Stant model number that will fit my Blazer.

Can anyone can point me to a vendor selling the correct cap, or know the model number I can shop for? Thanks in advance!

Yeah, that's the first one I ordered. What was delivered was black plastic. Also tried Holley (both their original shipment and the replacement were black plastic), Advance Auto Parts, Carquest via Walmart, Amazon. All showed the metal cap with red lettering but sent black plastic >< Thanks for looking it up tho.

Saw that, but no info on the part number or pic for the locking version. This part no is out of stock so I signed up to be notified when back in stock. We'll see.

Edit: found the part number/page for the locking version, but no picture. Ill call them tomorrow when the open to see if it is metal or plastic.

Called classicparts.com about skunked's link. They did confirm that Stant doesn't make the metal ones anymore (which is why there was no pic on their listing), but they have 2 of the old metal Stant caps on the shelf and sold me one. Optimistic, but not counting my chickens until I open the package. Thx skunked and rampage for the assist.

Good to hear and I hope it works out for you.
