Gas Tank Problem
My brothers 82 bronco was leaking gas bad...
We dropped tank and it has 5 holes, and is rusted bad
What years will interchange with it?
Im new to the Bronco world and I dont want to mess up already.
I think I found one out of a 81 for 40 bucks, but if that dont owrk,I know where a 79 is... Will that one fit?

Thanks for the link, but I checked there and they are about 25 bucks higher than anywhere else I've priced new 
So I think I'll pass on that one.
Thanks again tho

Another thing to consider, I don't know if that year had a skid plat bolted around the tank, but drill som holes in the bottom side of the skid plate to allow for water drainage. Thick steel so be ready to get a big drill.
