FWIW here is a picture of the fuel tank on my T/A.  It was an NOS fuel tank in original packaging when I obtained it.
Of course, that doesn't prove what original tanks installed on the line actually were marked.

I've actually seen this Armco Long Terne ink stamp on the steel fuel tank before quite a few years ago.  However it was on the topside under the tank pad.  I purchase a reverse image decal of the same logo with the 70 date and decided to stick it in a more visible area just for fun.  Then I used good solvent based ink and a dense foam roller and rolled a couple light coats on over the decal. Once removed, it leaves this image on the tank.   I like 71 Chargers too and many of their tanks jave the Pittsbugh Steel logo and year date on them. Pretty neat detail if it shows up in a visible area of the tank.

The tank I saw very well could have been a replacement tank also but I couldn't be certain.  Thanks for the kind words too  :bigthumb:

Cool detail. very interesting. The coils of steel sent from the steel manufacture to the gas tank manufacture likely had their logo printed on the outside of the large coil. The first couple of blanks cut from the coil likely contained all or part of their logo and once formed into a gas tank the logo was still visible. I would imagine very few tanks received a logo.
I don't think it was something the gas tank manufacture stamped on.

The above is just my theory and only my opinion of course having worked in the steel auto parts industry for 28 years.. :alan2cents:

I really like the detail on the gas tank..... correct or not. It reminds me of something I saw at Mecum on a NOS set of Polyglas tires for FORD from the Steven Juliano collection that I might incorporate on my Mopar Polyglas since I live in Akron, Ohio I'd just change the destination to the Plymouth Hamtramck plant. I'm sure it would make people stop and wonder.

That tire stamp is cool!!!   Just this past Saturday, I was wiping the dust off the trim rings on my Cuda and sure enough, I noticed the remnants of clay red lettering on the rear G-60-15.  I couldn't fully make out what it said but now I know what it was.  Thanks for posting that pic  :banana:
