Changing Gas Tank and Fuel Sending Unit

Looking for some advice to change out the current Gas Tank in my 1985 Trans Am 5.0 Liter 305. Now 24 years old.

My concern is what does the Tank Inside look like inside ??? Is it rusting or rotting out from the inside ??? I have addresed all aspects of the car except the Fuel Tank. I do not have any issues that I am aware with them.

I do have a New GM Gas Tank with Straps that I bought some time ago, but the Fuel Sending unit I could not get from GM. The concern here is, if the Gas Tank is removed and the sending unit is in bad shape, I will be in major trouble since I do not have another.

Does anyone know who makes or where I can get a Gas Tank Sending Unit for an 1985 Trans Am ????

Anyone who has tackled this issue, let me know how you worked it out.

Thanks
Rob
