Anyone know if there's a new tank available for a 61 Valiant? I've found them available for '63 and later at Gastanks.com and e-bay. I may have to adapt one of the later ones. Looks like the only difference is in the spare tire well, which could be modified.

'60-'62 tanks aren't available new. I think it'd actually take some fairly intensive modification to make a '63 tank work, but I'm just guessing on that. I can say that of all the different-year tanks available, a '63 is almost certainly going to be the closest to the '60-'62.

Thanks for the reply, Dan. Do you know what the difference is between the '63 and '64 tanks?

Same size and shape, but different details at the filler pipe entry area.

I modified my trunk floor to install a '63 tank.

looks very nice-- the 62 toad trunk is very similar to the 63-66 a body cars-- unlike the square tub the 60-61 cars have.
Thanks for the pics. Lawrence
