Rockauto shows replacement tanks - steel - for $80. Mind you, that's
plus shipping, so compare that vis-a-vis this:
http://www.amazon.com/Spectra-Premium-GM16B-Fuel-Tank/dp/B000C7W1VC
$93 shipped free if you've got Amazon Prime.
If it's rusty underneath you can bet the fuel lines are shot, if you can
run it in a reasonably protected location I'd just use some of the nylon
fuel line to replace them. You'll need various adapter fittings to
connect it to the filter, etc.

You don't really want to use the 30R7 hose in long lengths, it's
expensive, much fatter than the nylon, etc.
> Summit Racing has it in 25 ft lengths.

I've managed to find a couple open-box 25ft coils on Amazon's Warehouse
Deals (which, like Rockauto's wholesaler clearance stuff, is a
crap-shoot, sometimes it's great stuff in a scuffed-up box and sometimes
it's mislabeled, misboxed, or installed-damaged-and-returned stuff that
proves to be useless.)
