I have a gas tank from a Super that is solid (although I would have it cleaned and sealed just in case). I'll look in my parts book to see if it is the same one used in a Special - I would think it would be the same.

The gas tank for a Special has a different part number than for a Super.
Special = group 3.001 # 1181144
Super = group 3.001 #1181145
I would imagine that the capacity is the same and the difference is the length of the filler neck so modification should be easy: just cut a section out and splice with large rubber hose used for filler necks on later model cars.
Does anyone know if there are any other differences?
