This may sound crazy but why not buy both tanks then return the wrong one?

yeah i'm going to get the smaller of the tanks. its the length thats different ..almost 2in.. so i can make it work...... i want to change the brake drums to disc.. any know if another year with disc will change over with a 64 without much work??

for your disc brake change - any 1970 all the way up to 1979 will be pretty much a direct bolt on.

good luck.
