FSC Forum - View Single Post - How to identify if your 73-87 was repaired by GM's fuel tank recall

the purpose of this post is for all you 73-87 C/K owners to identify if your truck was repaired by the GM campaign to upgrade the fuel system integrity of the 73-87 C/K trucks (and certain 88-91 R/Vs as well)

Vehicles Affected:
All 1973-1987 Chevy/GMC C/K pickups, 10-3500 series, to include Chassis-Cab models
1988-1991 R/V Chassis Cab and Crew Cab models

to identify the repair, you will need to get under your truck and look up at the fuel filler neck. if the repair was completed, you will see a small piece of plastic like this...

if you look and it's not there, you can call your local Chevy/GMC dealer and they will ask for the last 8 digits of your VIN. if their computer shows that your vehicle hasn't been retrofitted, then you can schedule an appointment and they will install the shield free of charge.

note to all you dual tank guys...check BOTH sides of your truck. this shield prevents the fuel filler neck from being compromised in an accident, causing fuel spillage and potentially a fire.
