I went with a custom built aluminum fuel tank on my rebuild. Yes it was much more expensive than poly but I had a exact amount of space I wanted to fill for the most fuel capacity possible (52gal). I had four mounting tabs wielded right on the top of the tank to thru bolt into my stringers which made for a easy and really strong install with no straps or foam. If you can find the right size poly tank then why not. Guess I'm old school and like the aluminum.A mid 70's 22-2 has more room between the deck and floor than a flatback so getting close to 75 gal should be no problem. Capt Matt
best and cheapest rubber ive found to do that with is a big rig mudflap from napa. perfect density and thickness...
