Most radiator shops will clean them out and sometimes weld in what ever you desire. It's been done and isn't a big deal. Call a few and ask if they'll do it and pricing.
Galvanized is toxic when welded so just take proper precautions. Proper respirator etc.
fill the 1\5 way with water and dawn dish soap blow air in tank to mix repeat if still smells like gas poor it out and cut and weld
i did my tank and worked great
If you have a plain stock tank, then just replace it. If you got a high doller tank like ricks then modifying may be something to consider. I purge my tanks with argon, but even then the pucker factor is high.

Lots of great info here. Thanks for all the input. It's just a stocker so getting another one is only a $200 affair. On the same note, whats the best place to put a sump? Lowest point sounds right?
Wash with soapy water a few times, then fill it with argon. Then say a prayer before striking an arc. I've done it twice and that first arc always makes you pucker.
Looks like this guy is welding on his. He also has a 2 post lift. Lol
Speaking of stupid....Years ago my brother picked up an early 60's Lincoln for cheap. After getting it running on a gas can we decided we needed to drop the tank and clean it out. Problem was it was full....solution, suck it out with a shop vac! My dad wasn't real proud of us that day.
