Doing a little research into a new tank for the 73. Can't seem to find a replacement listed for 72/73. From what I have been reading, the 72/73 tank is 22.5 gallons, and the 74-up tank is 26 gallons. I have seen people say that you can use the 74 up tank in a 72/73 as long as you get the 74-up straps and sender unit. Does this sound right? Or does anyone know of a source for the early tank? ------------- Sal Mennella 73 GTS 351 CJ 75 Cougar XR7 73 Ranchero - 5.0 Coyote swap - in progress Past Torinos - 72 Gran Torino, 75 Gran Torino, 75 Elite |

Nope...Ranchero tank is unique because of the side filler neck :( ------------- Sal Mennella 73 GTS 351 CJ 75 Cougar XR7 73 Ranchero - 5.0 Coyote swap - in progress Past Torinos - 72 Gran Torino, 75 Gran Torino, 75 Elite |
