My old Willys has been upped to 12v. I purchased a 12v gas gauge and asked my supplier to sell me a 12v sending unit.
He said I don't need one, that only the gauge needs to be upped from 6 to 12.
Does this sound correct?

yes ... the sender is just a variable resistor, voltage insensitive - if the 12v gauge has a much different resistance range than the 6v, then you'd need a sender with a matching range, or if not much different, live with a minor mental correction - likely won't be anything noticeable
