I had a guy tell me that the 71 tanks are taller than a 67 tank and would'nt fit in a 67 cab is there any trueth in this? I for one thought they are
the same other than the vent lines!

I am calling

on this one.

In cab tanks are interchange-able for 67-72, differences you will encounter are number of hose outlets, filler pipe may be different, and gas cap may be different, but they bolt in the same, and the filler sticks out of the cab the same.
