Default 69 Fuel Tank Purchase

I'm buying a new Fuel Tank for my 69 and looking at several vendors. All vendors are about the same price, anyone out there know if one tank vendor is better than the other. I want something that will last and be problem free.

Thanks,

Don't know for sure, but I think all the repro tanks are made by Quanta. They apparently have the original GM tooling dies and stamps.
Their products are of great quality and as far as I can tell they duplicate factory original. I've bought Quanta for my 68 and my 70.
Just do a google for Quanta, talk to the friendly people (actually a lady) , and buy your tank and be happy. They are not that expensive surprisingly enough. My two Quanta tanks are really excellent and I'v mounted both of them in my cars.

Hi Tony,
I believe 68/70V is right about all reproduction tanks starting out from Quanta Products.
