So long as its for the same wheel base you have. The Tanks are all the same which is why we modify ours with the Harpoon Mod. You will require another sending unit (for diesel) as the Gassers have the pump in the tank with the sending unit.

When I got my 84/460 the in-tank pump was in the process of eating it's filter screen. I replaced the pump with a piece of hose and put a pump on the frame. When I installed the diesel I did nothing more than pull the drain plug.

Newer 2011+ trucks have different sizes depending on the fuel type.
