Actually you meant to say In-Cab-Tank. An In-Bed tank is in the rear, under the bed, between framerails. Like on Blazers and Suburbans.
That being said, I appreciate your frustration.
I was lucky, I R&R'ed my in cab tank with a boiled out one from a '67 twenty years ago, when it wasn't so tough supporting these trucks. The Chevy dealer did sell me the wrong grommet. And my gas gauge has read from 11 o'clock to 3 o'clock [instead of 10 to 2], but I know where my fuel level is anyway, since I also log my miles and gas intake.
I would have a shop boil out your original tank. If it doesn't leak, a coating isn't needed, and might dissolve and clog up the works anyway.
