Don't scrap t tank. According to the late lamented Ted Mitchell, a later steel tank won't fit your early car without major cutting & welding. The upper subframe was different on early cars and the frame & tanks were contoured to fit. Ted wrote an illustrated Newsletter article about it decades ago based on his son's pushbutton- don't have the issue info right now. Sorry.
