wrong gas tank in 72 CJ5

[Shootinok]

I bought a CJ5 in an auction that was listed as a '69. I bid site unseen and won the bid but it is not a '69. I think its a '72
Either way - I got a good deal, but as I'm getting time to look int this thing, there is definitely something strange about the gas tank. this can not be the correct tank and its mounted through a hole someone cut in the rear deck.
Where to find the correct tank and skid plate - any good sources?

Here's the whole jeep - the day I got it.

I don’t have any help for you, but congrats! Good looking Jeep, a little elbow grease and she’ll be great!

Like everything it all depends on your budget. Omix ADA makes a full replacement kit that matches the original pretty well. If you want a more substantial tank and skid plate GenRight makes a bad ass tank and plate that I’m putting in my Scrambler.
