Also, keep in mind Jim Carters and many other places now carry brand new
reproduction gas tanks for our trucks. Cost is around $200. Not all that out
of line for the piece of mind.

and i called them. they say they replace material which is rusted out with
metal and/or fiberglass and spot weld the metal. structurally the material
will then hold it all together. coatings are made in the interior of the
tank and then on the outside. all coatings are cured in a oven. i have both
a 41 chevy pu and a 41 plymouth pu. the chevy is in good shape and i am
doing a frame off on the ply. it is the one with the bad tank. if anyone
knows of a service which repairs gas tanks by welding only-so it would stay
closer to original i would appreciate a shout-thanks again for your info
