Fuel sender replacement issues (locating new unit)
So, I've been spending the last two days on the internet and at local parts shops trying to find a replacement sending unit for the front take on my 1987 F250 7.5L carburated 4x4. The replacements parts that I have found for this year appear to all be for EFI vehicles that have the fuel pump in the tank--they include the additional two wires for the fuel pump which I don't need. I took the unit out of the truck and snapped a few photos which are below:
Ideally I would like to just find a replacement for the worn out circuit board, but that doesn't seem possible. If anyone can help in pointing me to a site (or vendor) that has access to a replacement unit, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. That is the same kind of unit that I can get at the local parts store, but unfortunately it is not a direct replacement for the one that I took out. The fuel sending unit you sent the link to has the wrong type of electrical connector since it appears that it is intended for EFI applications (4 wires). I was hoping to find a direct replacement that had the two pin plug for just the sending unit. Any other thoughts?

Thank you very much for such a quick and thorough reply! Just out of curiosity, would I run into the same problem if I wanted to.replace the rear sending unit? In other words, do they make an aftermarket version that would be a direct replacement? Thanks again for all the help!

Aft axle tank sender FoMoCo Dealer part only, same as the mid-ship tank sender.
And, there are a coupla different types, depends on wheelbase, steel or plastic tank, number of tubes.
It it ain't broke, don't fix it.
