Has anyone bought a gas tank from them? They sell
a tank for a Dart for $130.00. gastanks.com gets
$229.00 for theirs.I am just wondering if they are comparable in quality. A $100.00 difference seems like a lot. Their add on page 94 new MM mag.

I have not bought a gas tank from them but I have bought lots of thier other parts, and the quality is second to none. I have seen the tanks in person, and they look good!

Is there a website for Vans Auto ? or do you have contact info ?

Been thinking about changing out my tank ever since I got my dart. My tank has a few dent in it, and on one corner has a large blob of what I assume is JBweld. Its not leaking but looks like crap, and the inside of a 40yr old tank is probaly nasty anyway. Seems like a good idea to change it out.

I'm pretty sure they are all made at the same factory in Canada . Vans has good prices on lots of Mopar stuff. You can find them on eBay.

They are coming out with some neat stuff. I just saw in MCG that they now have 68 dart headlamp bezels and they said, "by the time you read this, the whole grille should be available".

All the repro a-body tanks seem to have indentations on the bottom that accomodate the 67 single cross strap AND later model dual straps. Does anyone repro an A-body tank with just the dual strap indentations?

The tank came in today. It looks okay,but it could be made out of lighter sheet metal.Not sure.
It is stamped "Made in Tiawan".
