Im thinking about getting a new fuel tank. The sending unit doesnt work and I have to replace it. I thought might as well change the tank. My truck is a 74 swb and the tank from the outside looks really dirty and crappy. It has hard caked on dirt. I was thinking of sanding the outside and painting it. If it looks bad from the inside im going to replace it. Where is the best place to get one? I saw some on ebay that look good and are inexpensive. If I do get one new do u have to paint them from the outside since they look like they are bare metal. Any tips are appreciated. One more thing is the passenger side tank a 16 gallon?
