When I purchased my car the fuel tank was damaged. It became a bit of an issue which is a bit of a long story so to cut to the chase, it started leaking. I am having a hell of a time finding a local shop willing to repair it. I was over at the Safari site and ebay. The fuel tank in the Safari looks very very very much like it would fit in my Chieftain but the part number is different. Can any one with any degree of certainty tell me if they are interchangeable?

Unfortunately only 1955-1956 gas tanks are interchangeable... NOT including the station wagons of any model.

Any reputable tank and radiator repair shop should have no problem repairing a tank. That said, if the repair part is beyond what they wish to do, at least have them flush out the tank to the point that some other shop (like a welding shop) will feel safe welding/soldering on it. I had a lot of alterations made to the Nova gas tank I retrofitted to go in my '40 Pontiac. The radiator shop had no problems doing what I needed done.
