Gas Tank and Skid plate for 72 CJ5

[andy9460]

I am looking for a new gas tank, skid plate, sending unit etc... for my 72 CJ5 , the tank I have now is an aftermarket bolt on tank that is leaking pretty badly. The problem I am running into is that most tanks and skid plates on jeep web sites don't match up for a 72 CJ5 . I am also wondering since my tank now is bolted on if I will have to purchase straps to go with the new tank. Thanks for any help you can offer!

The skid plate will most likely have to come from a scrap yard. Morris sells the tank (both plastic and steel) as well as the sending units. Factory style, 15 gal steel tanks do not use straps, they are bolt on. I replaced the tank on my 72 with one from Morris.

I purchased the 15 gal steel tank.
