Turnburn720 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 A guy near me is trying to get rid of a 19 gallon gas tank with straps and everything, and also a rear crossmember. The trouble is, the truck is (I think) a 76 f100, whereas mine is an 83 f150. Does anyone know if the parts are compatible, or would I need to fab something up to make it work?

86 12 Brutus Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I just changed mine, bought a new one for 100 bucks at autozone. The tank in the 76 is completely different from what i can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 All of our tanks have E0, meaning 1980, or later prefixes on their part numbers. But a 1976 will have a 1970's prefix. In other words, they have different part numbers. And that means there's something different about them. What that is I don't know. But I doubt they are compatible.

You could probably compare dimensions on a manufacturers website (like Spectra) But the frame changed quite a bit from the dent side trucks. Edit: F1B and F1C appear to have similar dimensions. I do not know if the filler neck or sender bungs are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a tank from a 76 truck, you need to take into consideration the fuel sending unit. Weather it works or not, would really need to be changed. There is a man that lives down the street from me that has a 88 and a 76 monster truck. i put my old gas tank in the back of Brutus and brought it and looked at the 2 tanks. i walked under the 76 and i really dont think it will work, there are to many visable differences between the 2.
