One of the big reasons the old tanks fail is the radiator hose used. Ford, for example on the 64-66 Thunderbird FEs used a hose shaped like a Question mark (?) this allowed the hose to flex and take stress off the neck and body. Most aftermarket service hoses are "L" shaped and as the engine rocks it stresses the joints on the tank.
The right hose and higher quality solder will prevent most problems.
