F to Bronco Fuel Tank Swap

'88 F250 EFI 460 with the dual tanks. Want to swap the Bronco 38 gallon tank for the 2 tanks. I know I need the Bronco tank and electric pump. My Q is what to do for the straps, guage, and fuel line connections? Thanks

The guage wires you should be able to extend pretty easily. You can buy the straps for the Bronco fual tank. Then just get some lines bent for the tank to the filter. Someone whos done the swap should chime in. Just a heads up, the Bronco tank hangs down quite a bit lower then the F150 tank.

You use all the same bits for the bronco tank - fuel pump, sending unit and float, straps, et al.

Then you plug the front tank connections.

Bronco tanks for these years are either 25 or 33, u can get a custom made 45 for about $600. Lines will match upto F trucks
