Can anyone ID this gas tank?

This tank came in my 69 & the filler hose connection leaks like crazy. I was told its a chrylser cordoba tank & someone else said its out of a blazer. Id like to put a cell in it but Im WAY too broke for that. Maybe I can find a new seal & just run the filler behind the license plate...corn

Has there ever been a bed on it since the tank install? It looks to me like the filler neck will stick out past the bumper by 6 inches or so.

Looks like a good alternative gas tank. If you decide to pull that Bronco tank I would like to see pics and get the measurements of it.

Does anyone have an idea what year teh Bronco tank is?

The truck had a flat bed on it & a step bumper the cap stuck out @3" past the plate. They had the plate bolted along side on the bumper. I got the factory bed with the truck, a tree had fallen on the right bedside & smashed it pretty good. I found a bedside today so I guess Ill find out soon how bad it fits...corn

It doesn't look like a Bronco tank to me either. I had a gen 1 66-77, a gen 2 78-79 and a gen 3 80-86 bronco and I don't remember any of the tanks looking like that...
