I would be interested in a repro of the OE tank, but not a substitue or approximation thereof.

I'm assuming you know that the two halves of the tank are the same basic stamping, but merely "finished" differently - depending on which openings are needed.

Also, the tank seat and "fitting" for the sending unit should be the same as what GM used. Some 20 years ago, I replaced a sending unit in one of my V8s, and obtained a new locking ring and seal as used on a Chevy/GMC truck, but can't recall the exact application.

I'm surprised that no one has previously repro'd the tank, which fits so many years and models. Of course, the devil is always in the details.
