Hi
Found this on the web today while looking for a new tank for my 63 2 dr sedan.
Spectra 20 gallon fuel tank with ring.
Pt# 15151-05600310
Price listed was $131.43

Yeah ..... careful on those station wagon listings with their 'nice' price --and those incorrect pics ..... When a station wagon tank looks totally different ....see below

One place to try is Auto City Classics, here in MN. I've looked over their tanks and chit-chatted with these folks at our Back to the 50s..... I've not bought one yet for my '64 Gal, but I would when I'm ready to. Even though their tank is listed for 1961-64, I believe the filler neck is curved slightly differently on a '63.... I'm sure they can advise you on your needs. :)

Thanks
I don't have a wagon but saw this and though it would be a good price for someone.
Just posted because I know hard it is to find one for a 71.

No prob ...... I mainly wanted to chime in because I've seen guys on other Ford forums get sucked in by that super price --all because the pictured tank looks like theirs. :/

Thats very true.
I tried to order 3 different tanks for my 71 Ranchero and all of them were wrong. One was for a semi I think.
I wound up finding the specs for the 71 tank and found the tank from a 73 F-350 [rear mounted] was all most the exact fit for my Ranchero.
Mounted the in tank pump and added two small pieces of rubber and bolted it up.
