Brand new gas tank $100

[BB72CHEVKT]

Bought a new tank from LMC and can not get all the bolt holes to line up. You will probably need to drill a few new ones. Other than that it should work fine. I have an all original truck and want a correct fit. No shipping. Pick up near Tyler, TX 85 miles east of Dallas on I20. Paid $130 plus shipping. Just trying to help someone out because I can return it and net $100 after shipping.

Man I had the exact same problems. On the advice of a board member I contacted a local radiator shop that refurbished my original tank. They also put some kind of liner on the inside that took several days to dry. They even coated the outside of the tank and it was $172.00. I wish I had taken that route first. If you got it from LMC do not let them know you tried to install it or they will not take it back.
