Gas tank ofr '68 convertible
I was trying to buy a gas tank for my '68 442 convertible from Rockauto, got a snotty kid (named "Joseph") who told me their tank was for a coupe or sedan only, and absolutely wouldn't fit my convertible. I'm sure he was only going on what the online catalog says. Is there a difference between the convertible and sedan/coupe gas tanks, and where's the best place to buy a new tank for my convertible?

I don't believe there is a difference. Here is one on ebay.

Ok, guys, good to know. I'd like to get the stainless one on Ebay, but don't know about the quality. Anyone here have any experience with them? And, thanks again for the info. This is a great site for the 442 enthusiast.

On eBay, the vendor, tomsclassic has two tanks listed: the stainless steel one, and doesn't say what capacity it is, and a regular steel one that is 20 gallons. I thought I read somewhere that the correct capacity is 17 gallons. I want to make sure I buy the correct one. Anyone know? Thanks.
