Hello everyone,
I bought a 1977 CJ a few weeks ago and the first time I got gas, I discovered the filler neck that goes from the gas cap to the gas tank is bad and leaks badly when gas in inserted or the tank is over half full.
Since then I have been looking everywhere to find one, but everyone only seems to carry upto 1975 and from 1978 and up, completely skipping over 76 and 77 (why is that?).
I found one online for a 1975 CJ5, the picture looked really close to what I had, but you cannot tell everything from pictures, like dimensions.
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction?
Also, mine is the one piece hard molded rubber hose and was wondering if I could even swap in a metal tube with two pieces of rubber hose on either end like the 60's chevy's? If so, where could I get the rubber hose as Checker would not sell me anything as they were afraid of being liable if the part was not used the way it was intended.
