Hot Rods wow.....big lead time!

ordered an oval tank from Lang's yesterday......knew the deal, that there'd be a lead time. That's OK for what i'm using it for, but they called me today(nice people, by the way) and said my tank is a year out......shrug"........maybe I don't got a year left.....yikes!!!!!. Anyway, I'm trying to source a roughly 1920-25 looking oval tank, new manufacture ,to eliminate headaches, and I'm drawing a blank. I don't generally search a lot of sources and any input would be appreciated.

 

Nothing oval in the universal category. https://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=results/category_id=133/mode=cat/cat133.htm
Some ovals in the Mopar category https://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=results/category_id=68/mode=cat/cat68.htm

 

Try Macs?

 

Mac's shows one but it looks just like the one that Langs has. Maybe the manufacturer got behind.

 

Smith and Jones Antique Auto Parts in SC lists a few tanks. I have never done business with them.

 

You could probably make one yourself within a year.

 

Bobs's?

Here you go, I've used a couple of their tanks good quality.

I tried to buy one last summer. Called everywhere. Langs isnt too far from me so I called them first. They told me the same thing. The same people make them and one of the partners died. The remaining partner I guess is planning to continue but things were interrupted. Thats the story ive gotten from a few sources. All those tanks are a year out if they say so or not. I bought a Tanks Inc. tank instead.
