You cannot put an '81-up gas tank in a '78-80 model because the early models had deeper spare tire wells for the full-size spare. I'm assuming you can put an early tank in a later car, but the early tanks are out of production and kinda hard to find.

Cool Fuel tank differences

I do know that '84 - '85 had larger tanks then previous years, and I think that all the tanks for '84 - '85 were the same, meaning they would be interchangeable. Can anyone else verify this?
