The pick-up assembly will be different, but the tank itself should work. I think the hole for the fuel pick-up hole in the tank is the same diamater.

Keep a watch on what year, if you want it to go right in no mods, it would seem the 87 up are a shade different. When I changed my 92 from gas to diesel, the locator tabs were located different. Beyond that, it is the same.
