Yep....BoatUS boating store has 'em at reasonable prices. Had one in my previous ride (48 Ford Panel) without a minutes problem. Get your measurements then hunt down one that'll fit
Visit your local BoatUS store or hit 'em up at www.boatus.com
Go for it...

I have been using them for years. No problems. Get the ones with the foam block bladder inside to prevent slosh. RCI makes nice ones or you can get them at Summit.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

One piece polyethylene tank from "TANKS" hard to beat. Clean and bolt right in to stock location. Approx $250.

I've got a poly tank from "Tanks" in my '32 roadster and it worked great - no complaints at all.

Got a Tanks poly tank in the 41. Molded in baffles to prevent slosh. Even comes with stainless steel straps.
Used a Aerostar poly tank in my 37.
The only downside to them is you have to keep the exaust heat away from them.
