gas tank help

hey guys...
does anyone know the measurements of a rear mount 2wd 1987 f150 gas tank?

i am looking to put this tank in the rear of my 77 f250, and it looks almost small enough to fit between the frame rails. just looking for some measurements on the width, length, and height of the tank.


Thanks in advance!
Marshall

assuming it's a 19 gallon, it will be about:

34 3/4" X 27" X 7 7/8" for the 87,
34 3/4" X 27" X 8 1/8" for the 77.

If memory serves, the venting is different, you may need to be creative with it.
