1950 Rocket 88 gas tank

Can anyone recommend a source for a new replacement fuel tank for a '50 88 club coupe? Is there any crossover among the other GM "A" body vehicles of the era?

Try this place. I just bought a 50 Olds tank from a place in Minn. (can't remember the name) and then a friend recommended this place. They have the same tank and it is 100 bucks cheaper. The tank will cost you about $250. They also have the sender units. You will need to measure the inlet on your tank from the front of the flange. There are about 3-4 different tanks. They are the same as Buick.

Thanks for the prompt and helpful advice. I will look into the TanksInc products as a source of a replacement tank. Others have rated their products highly. Hope your new tank is performing well and that you are pleased with it.
