1974 Vette and 1977 Vette fuel tanks
Need to know if the fuel tank from a 74 will fit in a 77 Vette minus sending unit and filler neck or what the dimensions are for both tanks

Hi Chris- call Ekler's tomorrow. Their online website shows a different kit for the two years you mentioned.
They may be able to tell you if the tank itself will swap. My bet is that it will. I changed the tank out myself in my '76. Get new antisqueak pads- the old ones will likely be worn out and damaged. I remember the tank did not just slip right in- it needed some convincing. But it did eventually go in. |

This website is primarily active in the Off Topic section. I'll cross post over there to see if someone else knows the answer.

Dimensionally they are probably the same. I believe that 74 tanks have the sending unit on the bottom and in 75 or 76 they re-located it to the top of the tank.

@Mechchris19 IIRC It's on the top for 76. It's been 20 years since I did it.
