thats the cheapest 74 tank I have seen. most are close to $400usd. you can get a tank for a 71-73 and it will work the extra vents will need to be plugged, and make sure you use the 74 straps as they are backwards from the 71-73 cars. the 71-73 tanks I looked at were around $180-$200usd. only thing I am not 100% sure on is the filler neck, and still waiting for someone to chime in on it. need to know if the hole in the tank for the filler neck is the same. suspect it is, but may have to take a plunge and just try it since I want my car running......laughing out loud.

oops....almost forgot. that cordoba might work, but would rather let someone else chime in on that to be for sure. thing is, you may end up with a tank worse than the one you have.......so keep that in mind. best of luck!

take in mind if is double exhaust or single exhaust. Tank changes according to that. The CR21A is for dual exhaust. Single exhaust is wider. There is a Mopar seller around here with one NOS for single exhaust.
and yes the cheaper ones available are in $245 and $270 rate
Check Kramer Automotives... I got it on $225 plus tax at Carlisle ( yeah two years ago, but other sellers tanks prices hasn't changed on these last 2 years either
the filler neck hole is the same about what ? later models ? earlier models ? those tanks are listed to 4th gen Chargers too, and is a fact works on a 74 ( dunno hwo I know it (Laughing Out Loud) ), so must be the same. Definitelly the same with earliers too

Thanks guys. From what I read earlier, The 4th gen Chargers, Cordobas, Furys, all thru 1976 share the same tank. I DIDN'T know there was a different tank for the dual exhaust cars...like mine! Thanks for the numbers Nacho!
Thanks again,
Gary

Let me preface this question by saying "I don't know...I'm just asking".
I've been on the other side of this question for many years. When you couldn't get tanks, particularly the narrower/rarer dual exhaust tank, for a Cordoba, we (Cordoba/Magnum owners) were wondering if we could use a 3rd Gen. Charger tank.
The consensus here seems to be yes. One reason we thought of making the change is that the Cordoba fuel guage sending unit went NS1 long ago. This made the Charger swap desirable, as the Charger sender is reproduced.
So my questions is....while the tanks may bolt up, do we know if the senders are interchangeable? I didn't think so...Cordoba was on the side of the tank, and I though the Charger was on top. While you can make anything work, it will require some effort to get the wiring and vent/feed lines to the right place.
Just some food for thought.

don't worry then, you won't go wrong about the width since the single exhaust ones are not beind reproed, just dual exhaust.
Chargers gas senders from top om 4th gens? what a ridiculous madness from factory if they really did
