I'm confused now. Is the picture below of my locking gas cap correct for a 1968?

Here is a picture of the cap removed and one of it in place. Does anyone else have the same locking cap set up?

Mine had the springless flip top cap when I got it but no locking cap inside. :shruggy: Until I started this thread I though my flip top cap was just missing some parts. And I don't have a build sheet to verify if it came with a locking cap or not so I can only assume, based on what I've learned here, that it's stock and came with a locking cap.

Never seen that kind of locking cap before.

Interesting factoid.  :scratchchin:  The option code in '68 for a locking gas cap is 538.

Dan

Is that on the fender tag or is it a build sheet code only?

But the flip top portion is correct, on that we agree.  Has anyone looked in the 68 parts book or a 68 accessories catalog or anything like that?

I posted a pic from the 68 FSM which only shows the "regular" cap but I don't have a parts book. I too am curious if the parts book has that other one.

Here's the parts book.

To me, that one in the accessory catalog looks like its a complete cap as opposed to the locking insert that would be in a 2nd gen filler.

The one in the link is also stating it's for a 1st gen Charger, not 2nd gen.

Ah, that would certainly explain it looking like a complete cap then.

My '69 R/T (early production) had that same '68 style set-up.

I figured someone would spot that there is no listing for the charger,so what does a parts person do? Order the one for a coronet and hope for the best.
(Just my theory)

I'll look later but I'll bet the 2nd gen Charger specific one turns up in the regular parts catalog somewhere.

Will all depend on the issue date of your catalog.
I have bought some that have the revised pages at the back of the binder.

Well my 68 manual is Sept. 67 so its fairly early.  So far, nothing to add though.  I have an NOS of the other type here still in the box and its part number is 2925 881.

That would correspond then with the part number I have on the more common one.  Which means we still have light to shed on that other style. :flame: :brickwall:

Found this listing for 68 & 69 in the 1969 section at Hamtramck Historical. Still same number as parts book though.

So the picture is obviously just a representative one taken from the source used in the other Hamtramck link.

that cap if I'm right is a typical cuda , a body type of locking cap, it should be like bills

I have NOS versions of both 68 caps.  As soon as I sell one,  I can retire!
