    Hey Guys, I need to know if the holes at the very rear of the frame where its drilled for the shackles are round or oval shaped. On this car it appears that they are oval shaped, but due to the rust damage I'm not quite sure .:confused:

    Also where can I get a new gas tank and tank straps :confused:

    They should have 76/77. Probably the only difference is the vent on top. The 76 uses a grommet and check valve which is still available from Ford.

    If you buy a 76/77 tank you will need the correct longer straps anyway ...
