I've seen them come with and without the filler neck, but never with straps. The filler neck is no big deal to swap if you get one without it.

I'd give them a call to confirm any questions. You'll definitely want to make sure it's a made in USA tank, or one from Spectra Premium up here in Canada.

I buy stuff from them sometimes and have learned to watch the shipping costs. Most of the time the shipping is very reasonable, but other times it will make you think they have gone nuts.

I just Installed one of these tanks from Rockauto. Great deal even with shipping took one day and it was on my doorstep! Spectrum is one of the top fuel tank manufactures around they are actually built in Canada. Filler neck comes pre assembled to tank all ready to drop into the car. Order the straps and sending unit seperately, They don't come with pads do a search on that there is alot of info on what material to use. Good Luck

I offer one version of the Gas Tank Pads. Full size and covers complete top of the tank. I can also provide strips if that is what you need. Click on the link below my sig if you want to see my ad.

Definitely get the Spectra Premium brand tank no matter where you order it from.

I am in australia i got rock valley to send me a tank for my 1967 LS2 swap, It is a really neat tank well made got straps with it. My problem is i put a 4mm strip of rubber on top of tank to body but am not sure if i shoud put rubber between the straps and tank? I have emailed them but as yet have not had a reply. Does anyone know the correct way of doing this. thanks .

Nothing between tank & straps.
