73 to 76 was in the cab I believe....just get a new sending unit, sounds like you did the ground test properly.

I see no need for a new tank....

If it is a non screw in and a drop in with a lock ring you screw and stake down to lock i'd say its a newer style one.

Mybe here MTS COMPANY, L.C. - Ford Pickup fuel tanks

Or ....1973-79 Ford Pickup Truck Fuel Tank
