70-74 gas tank
1)Look at this Ebay auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2493752272
2)This is the question I asked::
Will this tank fit with the spare tire carrier in place?
Could you e-mail me some pics of the side view of the 24 gallon tank as well as the dimensions of the tank?
Thanks
3)This was their reply::
Hi,
I have been told that if there is a tank in the car know then this tank should be fie and the dimensions of the tank are 38x15 3/4x11 3/4 Thank you and Good luck!!!!
4)The measurements do not add up to 24gallons IMHO, unless my brain
has gone to Pluto on a little trip by itself or unless they think that one gallon equals something like three liters
Am I being stupid or what?

I purchased the same tank from E-Bay (the tank in the pic is not a '70 ~ '74...seller is using a stock photo) and it was the exact same size as my stock tank. 18 gals. Not sure where they come up with 24 gals., but my seller had the same statement in their description.
Tank is of good quality, fit perfectly and looks stock.
