In addition to the thread PV8 just referred to, here are another couple of options. Again, without all the specs can't say if any would work--but lots of others to look at.
The poster who used the 57 Chevy tank also had the GM sender and fuel pickup since there is only the one opening in that tank. The sender wouldn't work with our gauges but it may be possible to adapt ours to their mount or use a universal sender replacement -- something along the lines of the drawing. Downside would be finding the right angle or length for the float support for the different location or geometry would take some experimentation.
Another possibility is an earlier tank (not sure if that one is the right capacity) similar to the third picture with some mods to the filler pipe. Maybe cutting that filler off short and using ours which connects with a hose. Not sure about our vent. The outlet opening would most likely have to be replumbed on our cars but aside from looks, most likely that would be minor details.
Anyway, hopefully your tank can be salvaged but if not, there's used or if you're feeling experimental, maybe options.
