Was it this one Carl ?
To me it looks like it is a original setup on my -73.

Carl, it looks like there was a design change in 1973 and in 1975, not sure what they did but I bet that someone here have the answer.

Espen,

Yes, that is the fuel pipe/tubing I was referring to - Here is what I have:

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/stuff/p52963-fuel-fill1.html

Unless a PO made a repair/change for some reason, you are probably correct, must have been a factory feature and changed at sometime afterward.

I am not sure what type of fuel nozzles you have there, but the ones here (and especially here in CA.) are difficult to use on the GMC's.

I have mine out so that I can (shamelessly copy Very Happy / thanks Glenn-zhagrieb) do this modification, as was shown in the photo forum, to mitigate that problem:

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/fuel-filler-angulation/p45395-dscn1394.html

I was just wondering if that is what you had done or were going to do - Thanks for posting pictures and saying that was the way you found it.

Bill, thanks, but not needed.

I think we have the same nozzles here, not the CA ones but it is still terrible to fill it up.

I have been thinking of taking a trip to a junk yard and look for a better fill tube, we will see Smile

Espen,

Ref Parts Book 78Z / Section 12 - Fuel / Page 12-2 / Figure 12.001 / Key 23

P/N 698637 - NECK ASSY - filler to tank (First Design)
P/N 717958 - NECK ASSY - fuel filler (Second Design)

Same NECK ASSY in line drawing so that's no help!
