I removed my fuel tank and am replacing the fuel pump. The problem is that the snap ring locking the fuel pump to the tank was not in good condition and I wanted to replace it. Every auto store I go to has a lock ring. This is ok, but the one all the stores does not fit my truck. Lock rings are 4" o.d. and the snap ring I took off is 4.5 i.d. Any idea where I can get this ring, and why did they use the snap ring instead of the lock ring? Even my service manual says it should have been a lock ring. Very frustrated in Mass.

You will probably need to write down your VIN and go to a Chevy dealer, they can look up your truck as built this way, and order the right parts. By the way, can you upload a picture?
