Lou1985 is a master at cobbling together ATSF stuff, maybe he’ll chime in with the do’s & don’ts....

I wouldn't say two cobbled together tenders is a "master" but I can help with the cosmetics. Use the ATSF 20K gallon tender shell from North Lima and get the trucks, toolboxes, and frame from Lionel. Electronics as well if you need that.

I've used that Lionel ATSF 20K gallon tender shell with the chassis from a MTH Premier ATSF Hudson. You just have to slot the screw holes in the MTH frame and the Lionel shell bolts on. I use some 1/8" sheet aluminum on each end to fill the gap and help keep the sound in.

Here's the Lionel tender shell with MTH chassis behind a Premier ATSF 3460 class Hudson.

Here's another Lionel shell on a MTH chassis behind a ATSF 5009 class Texas I'm putting together, because no one has made one in O scale, so I'm making my own.
