I pulled my tank to clean it after a 9 year restomod and have a look at the aparent rust on the seam. As i wire wheeled and scraped the top and bottom edges of the seam, i found rust perforation under what appeared to be normal looking stone guard - I also scraped and cleaned the bottom where my dad had encountered a few rough roads.
I bought a TMP, (Tasker Metal Products) tank from our host because it was galvanized and came with a screw in filter like the stock tank. I painted it with Por 15 and shot Rhino Liner stone guard on it, in particular because i felt the bottom side of the tank needed some road protection.
I noticed that the brass mesh filter on the TMP tank was significantly coarser than the stock unit, so i reused the stock filter.

I did some beta testing/development with Len to fit a new front pump mount into the 74, as well as installing Len's new tunnel lines. I believe he has a good 10 micron pre filter for attachment to the front pump if your tank does not have a filter.
good luck,
