Fuel tank help
My 1971 highboy chassis came with an under bed tank attached to the 1973 (I think) bed that was set on it and I'd like to find a new one. The bed was sitting in scrap and I wanted to pull the tank asap but my brother said the owner of the quarry and the scrap yard wouldn't let me down there, he never touched the scrap, and my brother'd pull it out soon. Well, he was wrong, the bed and tank were rolled into a little ball by an excavator and hauled to scrap, so now I'd like to find another one of those tanks. I've included the only picture I have that really shows it and would appreciate any help anyone can offer.
