Matt Blake at Iron Horse Corrall, Clovis, CA. He has an ad in the National Magazine. He has welded tanks, they are very nice. He also has a waiting list for his products. I have a set of '48 Chief tanks for sale... they leak and need resoldering, no fittings or caps. I've had them for 30yrs. I am asking $250+shipping, USA only, no overseas. ChiefTwoKicks@hotmail.com for more details

I went with IRC Matt Blakes tanks for my 38 chief and they are very nice all weld construction.
I think I waited about 4 mos.
JerryGreers also sell Matts tanks so they may have stock,but If you order from Matt direct(same price) the shipping is free.
I have only primed them but they need almost no filler to paint.

Is there any go to guys to repair chief tanks?

John Bivens who works with Todd at Greer's, did 2 sets for me, great work, but that was 5 years ago.

I second the suggestion, John Bivens did my '47 tanks and did a great job. Does take a while, so if you're in a hurry Kiwi also recently started advertising repo tanks.

There was a Dinihanian Manufacturing Inc. that has advertised in the national magazine:
vahan237@gmail.com
Also supposed to be on facebook.
I have never dealt with him and I am not a facebook person
You could always try repairing it yourself.

I too can vouch for John Biven's work rebuilding Chief and Four cylinder tanks, he's done three sets of mine and never had any issues. As mentioned he's a busy one man shop so if you are in a rush you better go some place else or buy a repop set of tanks.
