I need to change my fuel tank. I can't hold my old one together with JB Weld any longer. 8O

I have a another rust free tank already, but I need the other stuff that goes along with it - straps, hardware and a sending unit. Are these the same for both the 17 and 22 gallon tanks? Are the the same as G-body sedans? I like to pick this stuff up at the junkyard if possible.

Thanks! :)

OPG has two different sending units listed for the 17 and 22 gallon tanks, not sure about the straps being different.

I swaped my 17 gal out for the 22 gal tank and used the same straps. However I took the entire tank assembly out of my spare parts car with the sending unit so I have no idea if they are different.

Any suggestions on where to buy the straps for a good price. NAPA lists them for ~$20/pair, but the manager claims they aren't available anymore. :?

I show two different numbers for the straps.
