Re: Let's Talk about In-Cab Reproduction Gas Tanks and EEC vs non-EEC

My tank appears to be an original EEC tank, however, there is no sign of the 'canister' anywhere under the hood. Does anyone have a pic of what a complete EEC system should look like?

If my EEC system is not 'complete' should I bother ordering an EEC style tank? I don't need the truck to be perfectly original. Would the older style tank be a direct bolt in as long as I get the correct gas cap?

I've read that I need to get the Canadian-made spectra tank and not the taiwanese one. It appears nobody actually makes a correct 72 EEC tank reproduction with the 1.5" neck, all the repops have the 2" neck anyway. Which is why I began wondering, is it even worth messing with this EEC stuff and I'd be better off just getting the older style tank and calling it a day?
I have a stock EEC system in my truck, I’ll take a picture of it after work tomorrow and post them.
