old gas tank

i have a 77 ford f100 with an older behind the seat tank.the sending unit/float is not working.
how do i find out what year the tank is to get a new sending unit?
it bolts in rather than the lock ring.

Are you thinking the tank behind the seat is not original? I think Ford was still putting them behind the seat in '77. The sending units were the same from '77 back to at least '73, maybe even before that.

Like Coyote said, the in-cab tanks were used thru '77

Or are you saying you have an in-cab tank from a pre '73?
