I just happened to have a 65 mustang tank for 65 fastback, and I believe it has a straighter fill neck on it.. I think the others are angled more, so the 65 style will be easier to mount a nice fill cap through the bed..
and instead of mounting it to the top of the frame, I would build a frame out of square stock and bolt the tank to the bottom , so you can remove it if necessary.. I saw a pic somewhere, I'll look for it..

found it !!
