I have a '65 that I'm putting in a tank from Rick's. Probably going to do it this week, so it's not in yet and I can't comment directly. The tank is close in appearance to an original (at a glance), but there are a few dimensional differences. Maybe I can get a side-by-side pic when the original is out.
Mine is a "Restomod" tank and has a bit larger capacity vs an original 21.5 vs. 22 or 24...can't recall exactly....therefore the straps are similar but different to accommodate the slightly larger size. It's not the correct galvanized finish, but actually looks to be a silver powdercoat...and then of course there's the recessed area at the front on top for the pump hat and sender. A couple of vents, too.

www.rickstanks.com Their website is under construction currently, and they're not showing their full line of tanks or specs.
Rick’s stopped making the Restomod tank. Too bad it was the best system out there for EFI conversions. He used a GM Camaro fuel pump that has an internal regulator and no return is needed. I had so many issues using pumps that Holley or tanks supplied
