60 olds gas tank and sending unit

I would like to replace the gas tank and sending unit in my 60 Olds bubble top. I have searched everywhere but to no avail. Does anyone make new tanks and parts for these older Oldsmobiles?

I have a 60 98 Bubble top, there isn't anything made for these cars, except upholstery and weatherstripping. Paul

It looks like you guys really need a Fusick catalog and you can see what is available

The relevant Fusick catalog is their #550, which covers 1935 to 1960 Oldsmobiles. It shows availability of a fuel tank sending unit for 1960 Oldsmobiles only for cars without factory air conditioning. No mention of a sending unit for A/C-equipped cars. Price is $94.50. Also, no fuel tanks are listed at all for any car from those years.

San Fernando is correct. Fuel tanks for the full-size Oldsmobiles from the '50s and '60s are not made new. If you need one, you'll have to get your old one repaired or find one from a parts car.

I did buy the sending unit from Fusick. 109 bucks including shipping.....but he's the only one who had one. No luck on the tank though. Guess Ill just have one custom built.
