Just thought i'd ask before i have a new one shipped in. Offcourse just after getting the crate motor in and carefully putting darn near a thousand mile on her in 2 1/2 weeks. I noticed a leak from the rear end after replacing a rotted fuel line into the fuel pump. Gonna make someone else do the job as i have no experience in this area but it looks like a b!t$h. Porbably gonna end up getting a new one but if theres a good one out there give me a holler!!!!

Are you sure that you need a new gas tank. It's probably just a fuel line, or fuel return or overflow line that is leaking. There is a fuel line that goes to the tank that is infamous for leaks. The line rubs against the inner body and that creates a leak, fuel leaks onto mufflers and then fire starts. Look for fuel line or gas tank diagrams to find lines. If I remember correctly it is in the rear passenger side fender well. It is a PITA to change as you have to reach up under the body and almost work blind. HTH

I've done a tank change in my 77 and will gladly offer my assistance. Will work for air fare. :rolleyes: :D
