It has been a while since I had to get one, Does Quanta still make the most correct (quality) repro gas tank for the late 60's GM stuff.? Any new players in that arena that are worthy.? Thnx in advance

Spectra sells to Quanta. The best price I have found is at rockauto.com

Quanta is a different company. Spectra is a Canadian company and they were a supplier that GM used in the past. I use their tanks and they are nice and accurate. http://www.spectrapremium.com/home.html

The NOS ones I had gotten have had shelf damage, which is why I use the Spectra gas tank. They look identical.

Thx for the replies, decision made. Another question, for a frame off restored driver, what are the best methods for keeping the tank looking fresh/new.? I know the welded seems should be cleared with something to prevent rusting, any other ideas out there.? Thx again
