I bought a used tank out of a '67 Barracuda last fall. Will it work in my '68?
I read somewhere that the '67 only uses 1 strap. :wtf:
 
Here is my 67 tank.

It would fit but as you noted the 67 only has 1 strap left to right. While the 68 up has 2 that run front to back.
 
Will the two straps work on a '67 tank, or do I need to buy a new '68-9 tank?
 
Just looked at an OE tank I have from a 70 swinger. The strap marks dont even have grooves.

Tabs where the strap bolts go are side to side. These cars werent built for universal tanks. I guess you could weld some in??

I converted my 67 to 68 and up straps. Used the parts off of that swinger I parted out. The only problem I see is where the straps hook to the crossmember holes I made are not reinforced, yet.
