gas lid

[Morris R.]

A friend of mine has a gas lid for a 66 corvette with the stampings with the part numbers that are correct for that year, the problem is that he also has stamping above the 30181 ( stamped d267) does anyone know what means?

Re: gas lid

Morris, The gas lid on my 1966, that has been on the car since 1967, has #38144041 30181H
This is not exactly what you asked, but perhaps will help.

Re: gas lid

With the exception of the roller door in 63, all of the gas lid chrome bezels are the same, stamped as quoted above.

Re: gas lid

38144041 30181H is the correct number for C2's. I have a bunch of assembly line gas lids and they have those two numbers on one line. In judging, two lines gets you a deduct. Don't know what the d267 means. There is probably a Restorer article on this issue.

Those on the TDB today obviously have their shopping done!

All on one line, Morris. No "bottom line". Here's a pic.

How do you think this '65 fuel door would judge ? Looks like they ran out of room, the 8 bounced, and no place left for the H. My two other '65 doors are as you describe.

I think I can answer that, Wayne, but I don't deserve the credit. Joe Ray told me this several years ago.

MANY moon ago, a Canadian company called All Tru or All True made repro gas lid doors. This is/was the same company that used to make repro Corvette interiors.

I have a 63 gas lid door JUST LIKE the one in your pic. The "H" is missing and/or scrunched at the end.

Re: gas lid

The casting numbers in the hinge area of my original 1966 Corvette fuel door are "38144041" and "30181-H". These are the same numbers as what Ken posted earlier. Photos are in the link below.
