M35A2 to M35A3 Fuel Tank Conversion

I am looking at the option of changing out my leaky steel fuel tank in my bobbed M35A2 for the aluminum A3 fuel tank, but the only ones I can find are NOS, and stripped. Does anyone know what other "A3" parts I'd need to swap over to make the A3 tank work on my Deuce? Looks like the fuel pump, fuel tank sending unit and the fuel cap need to be changed, but I don't know if the brackets or straps will work or if I need those (and other parts) too. If I need to "populate" a stripped A3 tank with too many specific A3 parts, it might be cheaper for me to just buy a new A2 tank and use my existing A2 tank hardware. But I'd sure prefer the aluminum tank.

Maybe look at a 939 series tractor tank 55gal or 81gal cargo tank. They are stainless. You wouldn't need the fuel pump. Sending unit would work the same.

@Elijah95 may have one in GA with brackets

You need all that is mentioned but they fit right in with no mods or effort. I did one (dual tanks) already had inline an inline pump and took the level sensor from my old one. Cap is different. But I think that is the way to go. No more worries about rust. Mine was nasty. Still have it but looking for another A3 tank.
