Most likely, and you ain't gonna want to hear this ...
The tank is rusted. FORD did not use a "sock" until later models. Any rust particles (if any) were filtered out with a magnet setup in the fuel pump. The sock is most likely a field fix by a previous owner.
You need to find a radiator shop that can tank it, review the extent of damage and go from there.
