Coronet wagon tank?

[Doba76]

Afternoon, been awhile since I was here last! Found a running, driving 75 Coronet wagon for a really great price that is in desperate need of a new gas tank. The stock replacement for it runs dang near 800 bucks up here in Canada, but in doing some research I believe I can get an earlier b-body tank to work and for about 1/4 of the price. Any obstacles that I should be made aware of before jumping in with both feet?

I used to have a '73 Satellite Wagon. Are you sure you found a NEW tank for your '75? I was never able to find one for my '73. When I thought I had found one, a picture showed the standard 2dr/4dr tank.

I'm not real familiar with earlier wagons, but, I'm pretty sure their tank mounts under the floor like a 2dr/4dr tank. The '71-'78 wagon tank mounts vertically in the drivers side quarter. BIG difference.

'71 - '78 tanks will physically interchange, but there are small differences with vents and filler neck, but they will work.

You know, this thing is so new to me that I didn't realize the tank was behind the quarter. Crap. This complicates things lol.

My 66 wagon tank mounted under the floor. I still have it in storage but, not the car.

I suggest you remove the tank, get it “hot tanked” and weld up what you have

Not sure how bad your tank is, but my 64 wagon tank had a hole in the bottom, bought the Tanks Inc. sending unit block off kit, cut the hole out to the size of the sending unit, bolted on, done.
No leaks in years.
