The 70 tank is unique to itself because it is a drop in like the Mustangs and forms the trunk floor. The rest of the years they all mounted to the bottom of the trunk floor. The 71 through 74 are the same. They have a tapered lower back to tuck behind the rear valance panel (even though 74 didnt need it). In 75 they squared the tank up & added a few more gallons capacity. With the exception of 70, you can interchange any tank into any year. Only problem you will encounter is putting the square tanks into the early cars. The tank will hit the valance panel. You can carefully bow out the valance panel for clearance. I converted my 77 to small bumpers & had to do this. I have a good 70 tank. Email me if interested.
