That looks like a '67 gas tank. The '70 is butt-edge welds and more stalky looking, not rounded and rolled edges.

To the seller, are you familiar with the Home Hardware store in Dunham? They have quite the time machine for old surplus "stuff" in their back warehouse. I found a good condition USGI jerry can in there which was half-full of old engine oil, so it in not rusted in the usual places. I also remember seeing old fashioned marquis tent wooden poles. That is going back a ways!

The factory 1970 tank is the same Terry. The welded edge squarish tanks were early 80s replacement tanks contracted in Canada. The necks on them were terrible, and you had to fit the gas cap on them to get them to work.

There are a half dozen differences on a Cdn3 from a Cdn2 that are easy to spot. Things like closed hood hinges on a Cdn3, re-enforced spring hanger area on the frame at the forward mounts of the rear axle, re-enforcing squares welded to the body for the seatbelts, and of course the one piece rear axle shafts with the larger self adjusting brakes. None of the photos really show if this is the case or not, other than what looks like a Cdn3 rear axle flange.
