Brass and aluminum both easy to file and get nice finish on them

I vote for new tank and sender which will cure problem and make for safer future not having to worry about leaks or dirt. Twenty gallons of gas is a major saftey issue your garage. If you replace fuel lines only fuel issues will be fuel pump and carb . You will be getting fuel issues all covered

I have used Uhaul trailer to move cars and pickups with my Tahoe, ford F250 diesel and Lincoln pickup with no problems.All the vehicles I used had factory tow packages. I like the folding fender which allows opening of car door. One I preordered from home and pickup up in New jersey for one way use. As I recall there were a sign on trailer that would be seen thru rear view mirror warning of maximum speed for towing. I assume most people renting trailer are not experienced. If you were using trailer a lot probably better to own your own or borrow from friend. Tires would be my first concern

From Studebaker drivers web page these agree with manual just more personel details on methods used. Another thing to consider is getting Phill Harris flanged axle conversion

Your 58 came with a 4 barrel Carter which can be rebuilt as basic carb was used on many 50s cars. The choke spring and related parts can be found athttps://www.carburetion.com/sitesearch.aspx?category=afbchoke&Title=Choke%20Chokes%20for%20Carter%20AFB%20Carburetors. A good rebuild and new choke bimetalic spring should restore choke to oem condition. I'm not a fan of electric chokes when you can get the original style Just my thoughts on this matter

Ross Miller has video on adjusting brakes including the emergency brake watch it and I would get another mechanic Emergency brake part about eighteen minutes in to video
