I am using one of those repro '55/56 wagon gas tanks in my '55 Courier. It does not leak.
Before condemning the tank, look at the flare on your 5/16" metal tubing. Any imperfections in that flare will leak. When I re-did my Courier, I installed all new fuel and brake lines.
JB Weld will absolutely not hold anything around gasoline.
