Found one locally for cheap. Will it swap into the Valiant?

The tank will physically fit, I have a 1974 duster tank under my '67... the only thing that is a bit "off" is the 1967 tank uses a single "belly" strap from one side to the other and the later tanks have the 2 strap suspenders with J-bolts that go front to back... So far with the belly strap and some "cushion" between it and the strap and the filler pipe, it seems to stay "snug" in place...I think Josh has also gone this route, too...

I did put a later tank in my '67, but it didn't have the depression in the top front of the tank which matches the upper trunk floor so the fore/aft movement is not as well controlled. I bought a new tank for my '67 earlier this year.
