I did some close eyeballing this weekend, and talked with a local bus guru, and learned that while the '67 tank is larger, the extra area is for expansion, and doesn't give you any added capacity, or at least nothing to write home and tell mom about. I'm gonna head to the junkyard this week some time and try to find a '71 or later tank, and see if I can shoehorn it in there... The extra capacity shure would be nice... And I wanna put the cover piece on, too. I imagine it would help keep the noise down a wee bit, and keep the has cooler!
