There is one on the Fordbarn swap right now. There are also 2 or 3 on eBay now too. They appear on eBay pretty regularly. Depending on where you live, the shipping can get expensive as they are heavy. You can expect to pay from $150 to $250 for a nice tank, plus shipping. I have found FedEx is usually the best for large objects. Be sure to ask a lot of questions of the buyer so you know what you are buying. You know there are two fairly common types of gas tanks, early 28 and later 28 & 29. There is a very early 28, but it is unlikely you will ever see one of them. The difference is where the choke bracket is located - middle of the tank - early 28 - closer to the passenger seat - late 28 and 29. I have several 28/29 gas tanks, but was not planning to sell them until I see how the tank in my 29 CCPU is when I get to restoring it in a year or two. If you have any other questions PM me.
