Need gas tanks!

i need a couple of gas tanks and fuel pumps for an 85 f250 with dual tanks that have sat for 15 years with gas in them. someone might have worked on them before because there are wires with scotch locks on then under the truck.

Have you checked with a local parts store for the tanks & pumps?
I dont know if NPD has any of the needed parts?

Tanks are widely available still. On line search will locate dozens of options. Depends a lot on your specific fuel system, tank type preferences etc. Somebody recently posted their new saddle tank and it looked good for a good price. I think it was Autozone?

I got my tank for my 81 on Amazon. Looks great, fit perfect, and was cheap.

I'd suggest another shop for him to take it to. I'm notorious for being che...er...thrifty, but if I need to get a part, I'll get it. Granted, I compare prices closely, but don't want to go back and do it again either. Regardless of make, brand or model, fooling with old cars is NOT a cheap hobby.

If you are a shop and he signed the work order you can put a lean on the truck, if it is worth it, this way they cant sell it or they dont get the truck till it is paid off.
Had a shop and was burned 1 or 2 times before you learn. The big one SIGNED WORK ORDER!

Are there tanks present that are rotten? You can use a kit to restore them.

The fuel sending units are generally available on Amazon. I got new FSUs for my Bullnose from Amazon recently.
