I tried to find one for awhile. There was one on ebay not too long ago that ended up selling for like $150. They come up every now and then. There is a board member on here who makes reproductions. I bought one from him. I haven't installed it yet, but it looks really, really nice.

I've got an original sitting in my garage. It looks just like 6772King's reproductions (but mine is powdercoated silver). $50 is a great deal!

I'd like to get a custom tank and a custom skid to match.

I have a factory one that I bought when I switched to a poly gas tank -- just to be safe!

In my 72 I used a 37 gal NWMP tank and then made my own skid. I gave away the factory 21gal tank and skid to a friend in need. SO yes GM did make them.
