Even if there is some rust in them they should be OK if they are structurally sound. If it looks sketchy inside use this on it: http://www.por15.com/prodinfo.asp?grp=CTRK&dept=11

I used it on a rusty motorcycle tank with excellent results. Before you clean and seal the tank throw some clean gravel in and shake it around for awhile to knock any loose crud out.
