Re: Gas tank question

[<62-65-mail-list-club@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Could be that gas tank in the 1963 is a leftover 1962 gas tank that the factory used up in early 1963 production? 
Or the factory shifted to a different gas tank sometime in the 1963 production run?
Last I remember the 1962 B-body cars used the O-ring style.

Did you compare the filler necks from the 1963 and 1965s? Is the 1963 narrower? Sounds like you could use the 1965 
filler neck in the 1963 to solve that issue.

The reproduction b-body gas tanks and filler necks listed on the swap meet items from Joe Suchy indicate that  these 
repros he sells  fit all 1962 to 1965 Mopar b-body cars.  I did not see a grommet listed but you could call him and ask.

Let us know how it goes. 

Thanks,
