I just got a 75 bronco in the shop and it has been sitting for 7-8 years but is in good shape. I took out the fuel tanks and the rear on is gunked up real bad with some rust issues also. Who makes the best replacemaent tank for the money. Maby an alumninum tank so there will be no more rust issues in the future, but that might be real expensive.

I agree with having a radiator shop clean it out if you don't want to replace it. Once its clean, you will be able to tell how much damage you may have from rust.

If you decide you want a new tank, you can order stock type replacement tanks from any of the Bronco vendors. There is also oversized fuel tanks available for the side and rear tanks.

well its 200 bucks for a radiator shop to clean out the tank so I was wondering what my options were with a new tank before i decide what to do with the tank.
