No link from my phone, but there was a guy here making STAINLESS STEEL stock replacement tanks.

Sorry about the fuel tank Bob, but at least you have the clutch fixed now, right?
Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.
6.2 powered M715, 5 M1009's, M416, 2 M101's, 2 M105's, 3 M35's, M1007 6.5 turbo Suburban project called Cowdog.

If you have the money, or you can beg or steal it, contact BlessedM715 & BUY A STAINLESS TANK.
I bought a take-off tank, and have spent a LOT of time and additional money on the lining process, time I can ill afford since my truck is 150 miles away, and I only have a few days a month to work on it. The stainless tank is plug-&-play, and the little stingy voice inside my head didn't take that into account when I weighed the two options.
The problem with lining the stock tank is the fixed dip tube, and how to keep it clean during lining. All the fuel tanks I've ever messed with have the dip tube as part of the sending unit cover (M37), and so are readily removable. That of the 715 is riveted & soldered to the tank, and it has some sort of steel wool filter on it that would certainly get plugged by liner, which means you gotta remove the tube from the tank. When you ponder the question of resoldering it to the tank after lining, that stainless tank starts to look REALLY good.
Buy that stainless tank if there is ANY way you can.
