I really don't know if you need a new gas tank. That one looks pretty decent. Why don't you just have it boiled out at a local rad shop and put it back in. The 9 inch looks okay too. You just have figure out if it's got the gears you want and if it's a locker or equal lock.

Jmho.

By the way, that's one decent looking 55 Ford. Wish I had it.

Thanks for the input. I wasn't aware gas tanks could be boiled/cleaned. Is there some coating that can be sprayed/poured into it to better seal/protect it from rust? The 9" does look good from the outside, but I'm assuming it needs a brake overhaul and while I'm at it, I'll do seals and fluid change. Not sure of the gear ratio or locked/unlocked yet, but will once I get her up in the air.
