    Im restoring a 74 Comet 2dr 302 V8, and ive got a crusty old gas tank that I tried to restore a while back, but it didnt go as well as I had planned. Now im in the market for a new fuel tank, and would like to know which one I should buy, and what all I will need to buy with it. New straps, sender unit, gaskets, or rings?

    Auto Krafters or Melvin's Classic Ford Parts list in their catalogs all the other parts you will need with using this tank. Pretty easy swap.

    Hey, thanks so much! I hate buying the right parts, but end up forgetting a lot of the supporting ones!
