Sounds like the spring for your gas door must be broken.

I ordered my billet door from Big632 last August (2005) and am still waiting for delivery. Everytime I write, I am told it will be shipped next week.

I hope you have better luck than I have!

Everyone who ordered a lid for the 78-82 I told I would gladly refund any money , I think that is 3 people.There was a fiitting problem with a few of them for those years so we had to retool them and that has taken some time.
They will be shipped immediately when they are finished but has taken some time to make sure they are perfect when you get them.The 68-77 are in stock and ship the same week.
