I have a tank in a 68 bay that would go cheap if you want to come to
Nacogdoches and pull it.

They are 14.x or 15.x gallons. Have to break out the Bentley to find out for sure, can't find reference online.
Also, so far as I can tell online, nobody makes new ones. I checked BD, WW, BB, and BFY. They're making them for 55 - 67 but not for 68 - 79.
Finding a good one at a junkyard may be difficult with the new EPA regs requiring scrappers to remove and puncture "petroleum product containers" (gas tanks and oil pans) -- (actually, regs require safe disposal of petroleum products, most scrappers pull the tanks, poke holes in them, and drop them in a pit of "kitty litter" which they barrel up and toss every few weeks).
Ask on the lists and check on The Samba (http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=270063) (http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=184526)
