Gas Tank Question

[Ralph140]

Anyone recognize what year of LC this gas tank is out of? It is somewhere around mid 70's I think. Thanks for any help.

68-8/73 it looks like.

Older than my 74.

My dad's '73 had that style tank, my '69 tank doesn't have the vent tubes on the left. I believe that tank started whenver they started the evaporative emission stuff.

That's what I have in my '72

71/72 with those extra ports on top. could be made to work in the earlier years without much work. I thing the port on the side is not the feed line to the pump like the earlier years one of the other ports is.

Thank you for the assistance. I will plan to keep it for the restoration of a 72 FJ40 but its not quite the same. I heard form one old boy that the tanks in the California FJ 40's in 72 were a bit different due to smog etc..... It should be a close fit.
