Rear Tank on 68' CJ?

[mhubacek]

Came accross this rear mounted gas tank on craigslist for cheap. Will a post 72' rear tank fit on a pre 72' CJ frame? Or are the frames different widths? A tank under my *** makes me feel a little uneasy. I know I will have to to a little cutting on the rear corner panel and do a little filler tube routing. :dunno:

Didn't here from anyone on here about this, but I found a thread on earlycj5.com. Anyone have any input on this?
This rear tank was mounted in an early CJ2 , or 3, and cutting of the rear frame braces was needed. I don't have the rear braces so It should just drop in right?

I'm in progress of the same thing only thing is I have a 11 gal tank from a postal jeep so fitting is a little easier in the 3b originally was going to run 2 of these tanks 1 on either side in front of rear axle till I found the right side would have interfered with drive shaft filler will be going in the rear wheel well so its not visible
