What are my options for a sending unit, this is for a '57 Dodge wagon but I know they are the same for 57-59 wagons. Are there places that rebuild them?

PN for the 57-59 wagon fuel lever sender is 1842 756. Hiltop has a couple of NOS options (not cheap):

Did you take it apart to look at it?

Just last year I repaired a sending unit for a 1967 Chrysler Newport.
There was a tiny rivet , 1/16" i believe, that corroded off that was holding the part that determines the resistance.
I replaced it with a tiny nut and bolt and it worked just fine. I also lightly polished the resistance part to have good contact.

I know I was probably very lucky that it was a simple repair but I was ready to look for a place to repair it then thought I couldn't break it anymore than what it was so I decided to look into what was wrong.

Have you determined that it's actually the fuel sender? My '57 gauge was inop but ohm meter readings at the sender are correct. (you can access the sender through a removable cover in the left rear wheel well)

Turned out to be the gauge, a light tap on the gauge brings it to life. I now carry a small jeweler's hammer under the seat.

I did determine it was the sending unit a while back. I haven't taken it out yet, that's the next step. So I can pull it without pulling the tank, it just comes out that access hole?

There is a removable panel in the rear tire wheel well but I don't know If you could remove the sending unit thru it.

The tank is not too hard to remove.

Just to confirm, for other people doing it, you can pull the sending unit without pulling the tank, there's a little round access hold (at least on 57-58 Dodges) in the wheel well
