1986 Fuel sending unit parts
So we all know that the fuel sending units on the early IDIs are basically not findable (at least for a non-outrageous price). I have seen some threads where people allude to using the resistor strip thingy out of another pickup, but none of them specify what years have compatible parts.
So basically what I am asking, the little plastic box with variable resistance on the sender unit: what other trucks/years have compatible replacements for a 1986 F250? Also, is the front tank's the same as the rear's?

in my 87, i used a gasser sending unit, you can still get those.
get one without a fuel pump and extend the pick up.
i believe 86 gassers were not carb'd? not sure.

I'm referring to the resistor strip that the wiper runs against. I want to harvest a functional resistor strip and install it on my existing fuel pickups and floats. I'm well aware that the pickups are different front to rear, but are the resistor boxes/boards the same? Logically they must have the same resistance range, but I haven't had a front unit and a rear unit to compare for physical compatibility.
