Not really "part of" the pump, but mounted to it. I don't think it's available separately.
Yours isn't EXACTLY like this photo, but it's similar.

The sender and pump work in my reserve tank but the gauge doesn't wanna work. On occasion it will go all the way past full and then drop all the way to empty. This is with a full tank. Could there be a loose connection somewhere? I mean its good that it pumps gas...but its even better if I know how much is in there. Heh.

I have an 87 f-150 and my guages do not work for either the front or back tank. It is having the same problem. Ford said they would charge $80 to find out what it is. I want to try to find it out on my own. So if anyone finds out how to fix and what to fix please post ideas.

Found the send units
Ford dealership carries both front and rear tank fuel sending units here in Marietta, Ga. The front tank sending unit is about $180 and the rear is around $160. These come with all new seals and all.

Here's what I got off the 2carpros web site............
try unhooking the wire from the sending unit in the gas tank and with the key on, read the fuel gauge. It should read empty. Now, ground the sending unit wire and it should read full. If this is the case, your sending unit needs replacing. If not, it is the gas gauge
