One thing to consider is giving it a simple compression test to see if things are looking generally positive in terms of the engines internal condition.
I would think that you would want to see about 130psi or higher in all cylinders.

If I am going to spend that kind of money and get a new tank I would get a tank that mounts under the bed. I saw one in the LMC catalog for around $269 with sending unit and mounting hardware.

Not sure how to do that. Anything special to buy in order to do so? I'll check youtube to see if there are any videos on checking the compression.

Do y'all think the piston rings would be okay after all these years?
