Need some help here. I was lucky enough to find a good D200 Utiline 8ft bed that fit on my '57 K6-W300 Powerwagon. I patched, trimmed, and modified the bed according to much of the great advice given here on the forum and it came out perfect with one exception.
I need to get the centerline dimensions for the gas tank filler neck. The truck is in the body shop and almost ready for paint and we need to get the measurements or a template to cut in the opening before we get to primer.
I would greatly appreciate it if one of you that has a '56 PW or later, embossed bedside laying around take a piece of paper and do a pencil rubbing of the tank opening and the edge of some of the closest raised embossed edges. I am also open to other techniques, but this seems like the easiest way in my mind.
(I don't have a gas tank right now, or I would just hang it in the frame rails and measure from the backside)
