Is there a locking gas cap that will fit a stepdown's tank? i was able to get a locking cap for the Kaiser, but was never able to find one for a Hudson.

    I had one Stepdown that had a locking cap on it. I also had a Stepdown with a locking gas door. The lock was built into the chrome door guard ,I've only seen one other like it,

    Jason, Hudsons used the same cap as 41-48 Ford, Merc,and Lincoln Stant(Everseal) g-25 bright stainless or G-35 cad plated "big Ear" type. Find the locking models of these on Ebay or other sources. Sold one off a few years ago, because of the fear of the lock not working( ice) or key loss. IMO they are more potential grief than a security advantage. Ron

    I have the original locking gas cap and you must do one thing to keep it working. Once a month squirt oil into the key opening and it will never freeze or get stuck. Mine is on my car and I keep it locked at all times. Walt.

    Hudson had an electric release gas cap as an accessory.
    I found one in a Hudson box and installed it on my
    49 Commodore along with the other 28 Accesorys.
    I also found 2 after market electric gas caps , probably the same manufacturer?

    Hi Jason

    Check with Jason at Vintage Coach. He had some electric gas caps.

    Have a good day.
