Default Help Matching Gas Cap

Hello-

I'm looking for help matching this gas cap- it is to a Ford 1935 1 1/2 ton pick-up truck with the tank under the front seat. The tank may not be original as I ordered a 1935 gas cap from MAC's and it was too large to fit on the neck. Can anyone offer advice or help match this so I can buy a new one? As you can see the gasket is shot and the cap leaks.

Had a similar problem once and cured the problem by cutting a gasket out of a sheet of Neoprene rubber. Cut the OD to fit the inside of the cap with the ID smaller than the center piece. (it will stretch over it )
