Thanks everyone. There is a radiator shop about an hour from me that I might talk to and at least get an estimate. The repro tanks are still available from Kanter I believe, just pricey. I have to be aware of the budget, so if it's not a lost cause then I'd prefer to keep the original tank.

The pictures make the tank look terrible, but it's not. I'll get some better pictures. What you are seeing from the few pics I posted is the undercoating that was applied flaking off. The undercoating is all discolored brown as well from mud and dirt. underneath (from what I've seen) appears to be solid metal.

Also, how would I know if the sender needs to be replaced? From the outside it looks fairly new, but I haven't taken it out to see inside.
