I recently went through the same scenario with my '67. My recommendation would be to go with a new tank. They're not that expensive.

I looked at some of the guys that did the coating/cleanouts. Not real convinced that isn't just causing more trouble with scale breaking off, more rust later, etc. I think you're right Ed.

Wish you were closer Fetch, I've got a nice clean tank from a '64 Chevy truck you could have. Probably would be the same.

Thanks Dac! This isn't the first time I wished we were closer! I'm going to start pouring green persimmon water between your place and mine tomorrow morning. By this time next year we should have all the space drawn up between us then we can do some real building, haha! (Green persimmons = super sour. Pour on ground to create instant black holes. Dilute for safety!)

Maybe that's what's up with my tank. It always hits empty at about half a tank, even after I replaced the sending unit. I thought the gauge might have an issue.

I also think the sending units they send us don't reach to the bottom of the tanks. I'm going to monkey around with this when the new parts come in and see if I need to bend the intake hose down further, or maybe add a pickup hose.
