Up for sale is a genuine, factory original GM Metal Cylindrical Vacuum Canister, removed from a 1973–1979 generation "Squarebody" Chevrolet / GMC truck.
This is the highly sought-after, period-correct metal "soup-can" style storage tank, heavily used throughout the 1970s before GM transitioned over to the cheaper plastic spherical units in the 1980s. If you are doing a high-end, period-correct engine bay restoration on a 1970s Squarebody, this original metal tank is exactly what you need to keep your build authentic. This reservoir tank functions perfectly to hold steady vacuum pressure, ensuring your factory AC/heater blend doors actuate correctly and your cruise control system maintains a steady speed without surging.
Condition Details: This genuine vintage OEM metal canister is in good solid condition. It has been visually inspected for structural integrity and has a solid body with no pinholes or rot. The vacuum port nipples are straight and intact. Being a vintage part, it shows normal minor surface wear and patina as expected from age, making it an excellent candidate to bolt on as-is for a driver or easily prep and paint for a show-quality engine bay. (Please refer to our high-resolution photos for a detailed view of the exact item).
Shipping & Handling: We ship all items securely wrapped and padded in thick, rigid boxing to protect the metal ports during transit. We pack and ship out daily from our warehouse to keep your truck build on schedule, providing premier service routes directly to major automotive restoration hubs across California and Florida. Local pickup is also welcome.
