$119.00 plus shipping, which was 35 bucks for me. It came in 3 days and is a really nice zinc coated tank.
I'll take some pics as I go along

That's a very good deal. I got mine from Mustangs Unlimited off Ebay which at the time had the best price at $149.

I didn't know how much gas I had because the sending unit wasn't working but luckily I had a few clean empty buckets on hand...

I got the old tank emptied and removed, I was amazed how clean the inside looked for 41 years old...

new tank in and filled, no leaks, fits good and took about an hour and a half.
The sending unit is shot but I installed anyways until I get a new one.
