Gas tanks on '87 truck

I was going to treat my gas tanks with some rust inhibitor before mounting them back on the truck.
After about a half hour of wire brushing the "better" one and then starting to notice a bunch of black dots magically appear (holes) I decided life is too short...

So I am going to buy new tanks for both sides.
I already ended up breaking one strap on the tank so I am just going to order four new straps for both tanks.

My question is, since I have them off and am going to have to pull the fuel sender(?) anyways, anything else I should replace now?
Not trying to throw money away, but don't want to miss the chance to get something fixed while they are out.

This is an '87 so it is TBI with, I believe, the fuel pumps in the tanks. Any filters ("fuel sock"?) in the tank that now would be a good time to replace?

I am using Rockauto as my source but I do not see any fuel filler hose listed; is it called something else, or just not carried?
