VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1933-1936 1933 radiator cap - low cost alternative

I recently got a 33 Chevy minus radiator cap. While there are nice replicas available, they are a bit pricey. I found this on Amazon and it fits fine.

Cost was $7.49 (shipping free on Amazon Prime). Any reason why a gas cap should not work - has a gasket and seals tight...??

If it fits the opening and twists into place, it will work. The correct caps appear regularly on eBay. With a little patience you can get one for a reasonable price. I suppose that depends on what you consider to be a reasonable price.

A beautiful reproduction cap for your car is on sale at The Filling Station for only $45

I got my '33 coupe 60 years ago and it came with an aftermarket stainless steel cap, that still looks like new today. I use it when I don't want to leave the eagle cap on when I'm away from the car for the chance of losing it. I recently purchased one of these new reproduction original style caps from the Filling Station, which is so beautiful, that I would hate to lose it too. Guess I will still be using the old stainless cap for the same reason.

I have a radiator cap for 1933 to 1936 Chevrolet trucks, send me the measurements for the opening and I make sure that it fits. Original and the chrome is ok. If it works for you $30, shipping included.

The '34/'35/'36 truck cap is the same as the '33/'34/'35 (Standard only, in '35) cap.
