'69 Barracuda
We have all seen a few of these transplants, my question is how difficult is it to mount one and not have it sticking above the qtr too much?

I would think since they are an above surface device it would be pretty tough to do much of anything else with them.

I just noticed the Bcuda have a recess around the cap, thus they do not protrude as one would if simply mounted on a stock Duster. If the entire cap w/
a portion of the recessed qtr were cut out of a Bcuda it should look fairly nice.

That would make a difference alright.

I'd rather have one on top of each fender right behind where the sail panel meets the fender and the tube tied together in the trunk.
That would be on a Dart though.

My brother did this to his Duster two years ago using a piece of the quarter panel from a Barracuda. It worked out well and I think it looks great. If you go on search forums, type in gas cap, and type in my user name there are a couple of pictures that will come up. Sorry I don't know how to do the link thing. Bobby

Pretty good idea over doing it from scratch.
I have a GTX flip-top cap and adapter. Not willing to cut and paste, metal work is not my bag. PM if interested.

That's what I did with my '72. Cap fits and works just fine. The only thing left is to modify the filler tube as the angle is a little different, the screws that hold it all together is different and oddly, it needs to be a little longer now.
A barracuda tube may solve

I have one. I just haven't gotten that far yet. It is also short, but grafting one onto the other will fix that.
