I don't think it will. I have a 69 and was going to use a tank from a 78 and it wouldn't go. I understand the 69 2wd and the 77 high boy are the same width. The crossmember he is talking about is in the way as well.

chrono4 I am interested, but i need to know if it will fit in my 74 f250 4wd, so if you or anyone can answer that for me I'd appreciate it. My truck only has the behind the seat tank and it feels like i'm at the gas station everyday i need some more range.

That's the same frame. What I did was ditch my in the cab tank, turned one of the 19 gal stock tanks sideways and mounted it just over and in front of the rear axle.It takes a lot longer filler hose but it works well.
