Gas tank conversion.

I want to install an oversized gas tank in my 1996 f-150 4wd, it has the stock 18 gal behind the axle. Will the Bronco tank fit? Does anyone know of a larger replacement tank? I want to extend my range, but don't want a tank in the bed. Thanks in advance for the info.

I installed a 32 gallon tank in my truck, it is for a Bronco , I ordered the tank from LMC and got the fuel pump with sending unit from the dealer , bought straps and fabbed 2 straps together to hold it in, you HAVE to get the fuel pump and sending unit from FORD, or the boneyard. I bought it all new , but you could get the whole setup from the boneyard.with the bronco skidplate and straps it bolts right in. It works great with no probs, any more ?'s feel free to ask.

Mike

Thanks Mike, I was actually just reading the earlier post about your fix. I'll look up the tank at LMC and do the conversion. Great help guys. Thanks again.
