While my 68 sill has the original tank I did get a FJ45 tank that had been replaced in the truck at some point. It has those same dipples on the top. I wonder what Toyota's reasoning was for adding the dipples? Also that molding was something Toyota added after 68. My 68 didn't have it but my 73 does.

Your doing a excellent job keep up the good work.

I have the original one,
and you have rigth
I bougth the new from SOR and I thought it will be exactly the same........... and surprice!!!! it has some diferences well I decide to finish the new investmen(nrw tank) and save the old one to restore in better time !
I think they mix the 70 to use for all early years sence the 70 has some conections and the old one didnt has.
