4X2 midship fuel tank sender avaliablity - ?
 
Has anyone ever come across a company that sells this? I was about to order from LMC but there's is for a 4X4. Seems like it's a little harder to find than I was hoping. 1976 F250 Supercab camper - if anyone has a clue to where to look I would greatly appreciate it!

That should be the same midship tank that's in my Crew. When I got mine, Mike or NumberDummy found one at a dealer for me. If I recall, there weren't many left in the country.

Gauge, fuel level sending unit
74-76 F100-350 2WD Supercab
before s/n C00,000
D4TZ-9275-A replaced by D7TZ-9275-C

after s/n C00,000
D7TZ-9275-C

I located 1 NOS unit but they want $175.00 (!!) for it.
NOS Parts Ltd.
Waxahatchie, TX has 1 (972) 937-2201

Personally, I'd go with the one from JBG.

Thanks all. I was about to order that one from The Bronco website...but it is different than the one I pulled out! Unless mine was not correct; that one looks totally different. Can anyone verify that the one on V10mamns link above is correct?

** And I have the Supercab if that makes any difference!

Yeah, I had better pass on the $175.00 cost!!

Appreciate it.

I hear ya Luch. Mine looks like the ones LMC sells and the 4x4 version JBG sells.

According to the Ford parts catalog, the regular cab takes sender p/n D7TZ-9275-B.
This is what that one looks like. I couldn't come up with a picture for the "C" version that the supercab takes.

if you can just rebuild the unit ,bronco grave yard has the parts to do this
just check the unit with a ohm meter,and if that checks out your golded,i have rebuilt many of them

What's wrong with your sending unit? The float comes with the sending unit, also available separately, and...

It's made from two pieces of copper soldered together, solder breaks down, gas seeps in, float settles to the bottom of the tank. :(

Remove the float, shake it to hear if gas is sloshing around inside.

COAZ-9202-B .. Fuel Sending Unit Float / Available from Ford / ALL 1957/79 Passenger Cars/Trucks, 1961/79 Econolines & 1966/79 Bronco's.

Carpenter sells a one piece 'replacement' brass float for around 5 bucks that'll never leak.

Note: NOS PARTS LTD in Waxahachie TX has the original D4TZ-9275-A sender .. not the D7TZ-9275-C replacement.

The issue with the sending unit is electrical...the side tank was unused for who knows how many years and things are all gummed up. I tried to cleanup the resistance wire and attached the green wire to the stud but it is in sad shape.
I found a place in Hemmings to rebuild it for $135.00 - may be my option unless I can make something else work...?

I will get a picture up here later Friday...its is clearly different than the regular and maybe even crew cabs.

go to a salvage yard and try to get a used one in better shape and get a new sock filter and float from dennis or bgy.i soak mine in white vinager for a day or two then rinse with r.o. water
