Re: I need a new gas tank 1980
I just put a pair of Spectras on my truck this past month. Seem to be good quality and they were a perfect fit. Mister UPS brought em to me.
And they're made in Canada btw...

Re: I need a new gas tank 1980
I just put a spectra in my Square. Now I did paint it and I used Rust Oleum rusty metal primer to give the tank some protection again rust then I top coated it with Rust Oleum Silver Paint.

I ended up using this stuff on both of mine. Talk about tough, but you pay for it... $$$
