No such thing. There is only one sending unit for all 1961/67 Econolines.
C2DZ-9275-A .. Fuel Sending Unit / Obsolete
1961/67 Econoline / 1960/64 Falcon
except Ranchero, Station Wagon & Sedan Delivery.
NOS PARTS SOURCE in Olathe KS has
1 = 913-220-5746.
GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has
6 = 800-543-4959.
WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has

But, do
not buy one until you've checked the following:
The "usual" cause why the dash fuel gauge reads incorrectly, or not at all.
The fuel sending unit float is made from two pieces of copper soldered together.
Solder breaks down, gas seeps in, float slowly settles to the bottom of the tank.
COAZ-9202-B .. Fuel Sending Unit Float / Available from Ford / Carpenter sells a type that is made of one piece of brass.
Applications: ALL 1957/79 Passenger Cars/Trucks / 1961/79 Econoline / 1966/79 Bronco.
Unhook the float from the senders crooked arm, shake it to hear if gas is sloshing around inside.
