    After removing my door handles, I wanted a simple way to open the doors. I used "bear claw" latches and UNKL AL'S solinoid kit. Needed a place to put the switch. I added a fuel neck and cap to the driver side and put the switch inside. Can use a locking cap if needed. Never has anyone questioned the gas cap on the "wrong" side.......OLDBEET

    That's kind of a neat, well executed idea. However, adding a bulbus decoy filler pipe to the side of the truck seems to contradict the idea of smoothing the truck with shaved door handles.

    I live in one of the last two states with full service gas stations--I shudder to think of the disasters those bozos could create with this setup if left unwatched for two seconds!

    Yup, kid gassing truck is watching a 16 year old blond go by as he sticks the nozzle in that cap and squeezes the trigger. Gas shorts out the door switch causing it to open, smacking the kid in the balls while sparks from the short cause a fireball that curls the kids hair as it blows him over and melts your truck into the pavement. Kid sues you and contacts the Ultimate Garage guy to build him a home for his new C6 Vette you bought him. And that 16 year old blonde STILL won't go out with him because of his curly hair!
