Rust in gas tank

Truck ran fine when I first started driving it a month or so ago. It had been sitting for at least two years before I bought it. After putting gas in it a couple of times it started running rough. Cleaned the brass "in carb" fuel filter and it ran good for a short time. Checked the filter again and it was gunked up with rusty sediment. I need some opinions on what to do next, should I:

1. Have the tank flushed out. Will I need to have the inside coated?
2. Flush it out myself and if so, how.
3. Buy a big in line fuel filter - cheapest, but will it work?
4. Replace the tank
5. Do this instead - (fill in the blank ____________________)
