Thanks Tom for referring back to a former thread that has the picture I was looking for. I was thinking of using a sedan neck on my pickup to keep gas from sloshing out on right turns. I think the sedan neck would work fine. Now to find one.

I presently have a neck on mine that I had bent to the angle I thought I needed, then cut the center of a PU filler neck and welded the fabricated piece in the center. Only the initiated can tell it isn't stock.
