someone has to know?

what year did the ford f100 behind the seat gas tank sending unit bolt in rather than lock in?

I am 80 percent sure my brother's 68 is a bolt in. But then again, I think my 77 is too. I can look tomorrow.

I've never seen an in-cab tank that wasn't bolt in, not that I ever noticed, anyway. The one in my '74 F350 is bolt-in.
