Nice, making me think I should go with the original hubcaps if possible!
I'm patting nyself on the back for sticking to my guns on this..:wave3:Then my money is on the fact that a 67/68 C-body tank should fit...
The sending units they sell these days are garbage.
You can go thru a 1/2 dz before you get one that is in spec.
That '65 tank is pretty unique looking. Thanks for all of the pictures, very informative. Did you use new straps, and if so were they for a '65 or '67-73 ?
I did use new straps and they were for 65-66 C-bodies,but I didn't use the original mat,probably should have gone with a rubber one.
You pick a figure and I won't disagree.
Did you read the whole thread?Just to let you know 1967 and newer tanks will not work. I am going thru the same problem trying to find a tank for my 1966 300 4 dr. Does anyone out there have one for that?
As you can see in the pics. new tank was 2 inches longer,but fit in same location without any modifications.Tank was supposedly for 67-73 C-body only,would not fit 65 or 66.View attachment 56724View attachment 56725View attachment 56726View attachment 56727

That "looks" like the correct tank for a '65 Polara/Monaco.
Call them and ask if they are going to bring any to Carlisle.I seen those tanks as well, but Vans does not show good shots of the sending unit/fuel pickup hole and vents to know. Also, no dimensions listed. I am almost of the mind that I will have to rely on measurements. Thanks for the help. This is a pickle.
