As your measurements show, the earlier F250's (pre 77-1/2) had a narrower frame than the F150's. You will need the correct tank for your truck.

yeahg good luck finding one i found a platsic tank out a 79 f 350 flat bed and made a mount for it to fit in there. i think yo ucan buy one but there pricey. you can also get one made but with the price of steel these days it was gonna be liek 200 for the materials to do mine the way i wanted to do it. dont give uop though keep trying you can find tanks to fit but your gonna have to explore other vehicle like chevy and dodge for narrower tanks.
