Nobody makes a direct replacement.
Some Mustang tanks will fit, but need a little modification. They are also larger, so hold more gas.

Here are a few sizes:
65 Mustang 16 gallon 32 5/8 X 24 1/2 x 8"
69 Mustang 20 gallon 32 5/8 X 24 1/2 X 9"
70 Mustang 22 gallon 32 5/8 X 24 1/2 x 9 3/4"

The 1965 tank is about the same height as the Econoline, so you should be able to use the original straps. The others will require longer straps to hold up the tank.

The filler tube on the Mustang is in the wrong place, so you can get a radiator shop to remove the Mustang filler location and add the Econoline filler location. The Mustang sender unit will send the right signal to your Econoline gas gauge.

Here are pics of the 20-gallon tank being modified.
