Hi everyone, Im new to the bronco world. I just purchased a 1971 bronco but it isnt completely together. I am trying to get the fuel tank filler neck installed, but not sure how it attaches at the top where it meets the rear quarter panel. There are no ***** holes in the quarter panel, but it looks like there should be. Can anyone tell me how it installs??? Thanks

OK, so I drilled the holes and attached the filler neck, but when I put the fuel cap on, it doesn't cover the screws...am I missing another part or is that how it works????

I have found out that some replacement caps are smaller than originals, that could be the reason.

"is that how it works????"

Yep.... mine is stock & fr. a couple feet away., you can see 1/2 of ea. *****.

You can use some pretty stainless screws or paint the ones you have.

OK, I did find another cap that fits better, still can see the screws if you're close to it...painted the screws tonite, looks better.... Thanks for all the help, I'm sure there'll be many more questions as I go along with this project...
