Howie,
I got one of those new tanks also. I put in a new sender and pickup, but had to use the old OEM lock ring; the new one didn't allow a good enough tank to sender seal. Ask me how I know this!
I use Rock Auto quite a bit, they have a good variety and it's mostly reasonable. They are very organized on shipping, etc.
+1 what Bruce said, my dad and I both ordered replacement tanks from Rockauto mine is a 66, he has a 67. We both also have the 1/2" sending unit from Robbmc. I had to add a resistor in parallel to get the fuel gauge to be accurate in the fairlane though. Other than that both seem to be great parts.
