Hi Everyone,

Unfortunately, I have found myself having to replace the gas tank in my 1970 Ranchero project. The boiling place said it was too far corroded to be boiled and resealed.

From my research, these tanks are unique to 1970-1971 specifically and there are no repops available (bummer!), and my chances of getting another solid, used tank are slim.

I found from another post that a 1973-1978 F-250-F-350 Rear Tank could work with a modified filler neck and it is close to "drop-in". Thinking about buying this tank and trying to make it work.

Anyone had any luck with this F-250/350 tank or other setups? Open to other suggestions as well, thanks!
