My 300 needs a new tank. Can't seem to find one for the 65 300. I did find one for the 65 Dodge Monaco. Will the Monaco tank fit?
1965 Chrysler 300 Fuel Tank

If the fuel filler is in the same location it should fit.
The filler tube detaches. My suspicion is that it'll work, but there might be some minor issues that might need to be addressed? That's the 2-vent CR20B Spectra item. 40.5"x27.5"x8"
For some reason, the model years now start at '67, except for the '65 Monaco, in the model year listings. Goes up to 1973 model year on C-body cars (exc SW). Might need to measure to make sure it fits. The sending unit you have should, by Chrysler part numbers.

Yeah, just got an email back from them. They expect to have the 65 tanks out in May 2018

I'm not sure
What about 66 tanks? Same as 65s?

I would think why would a vendor go through the nutroll of building a 65 specific tank. I wonder it has something to do with the venting?

Not sure on Chryslers but Fury's are different. 65's have the filler neck on the side and 66's have it in the rear.
That I knew, but there's some other reason they don't list 66 tanks... it would be nice to be able to get a brandy-new tank.

Answers lie in the parts books......
Be aware, that part numbers don't always "tell the tale", but illustrations CAN. For example, if there are two identical items, initially, but for one year, it needs an extra hole drilled in the metal, that generates a different part number from the original item, although one is backward compatible. But we don't know this just from the numbers, unless they supercede the part number to the newer one from the older one. If it's due to "vents", there are three part numbers of tanks for the '67-'73 cars, related to "no vents" to "2 vents" or "4 vents". We know that the sending units all work, back to about '65 or earlier. And capacity ratings are very similar. The other thing is that if a supplier/vendor (where Chrysler got the item from) might change, that can generate a different part number, too, for an item built to the exact same specs.
Also, in order for these publications to go to print and be delivered to the dealerships just prior to the vehicles arriving, they had to be finalized in later July of the year. If there were any significant production changes, from the initial printing, they would be noted in later TSBs or Dealer Letters, or a "later-in-the-production year" parts book, possibly.
Filler neck hole locations can be an issue, though.
I'll concur that the '66 and '67 Chrysler tanks look to be the same thing, from a casual look at things. Why I was wondering if there was something specific in how it indexed with the floorpan of the trunk, different spacing of the hold-down straps, or a slightly different contour to go with the way the rear quarter panels angle from the rear wheels to the rear bumper?

The 300 filler neck is in the rear
