Will a piece from an auto parts store work? No fancy chain tho.

No, the military fill necks are huge compared to civilian ones. Nothing in the parts store will fit unless you change out the fill neck with a civilian model. The necks and caps are unique to the M10xx series.

Yea, I saw the one on ebay.....
I got a tube of the jbweld plastic epoxy repair w/gap filling abilities i think it was 6 bucks
Its not the prettiest fix I've ever done but not too bad..... it'll last I think, though I did loose the ratcheting action, so I'm careful when I crank her down


Oohhh and just to know, there are two different part numbers on this assembly, yes,the ratcheting cap is a separate part from the bottom half that actually screws in to the opening....... and nooooooo, like a dumb ass I did not write it down or take any pics.....but the top ratcheting cap will come off the threaded bottom half with a little persuasion....... the top cap is what went bad, so I wonder if maybe it has a larger use then for just our trucks
