Iwas wondering if you had more information on the ford F150 gas tank swap.  I never have liked how low the stock gas tank sits and was planning on doing something different.  I started pricing out fuel cells and they are expensive and designed for dragsters and buggies so I would end up cutting and altering it anyways.  the F150 tank is just what I need. 

Here's one of my earlier posts:
The measurements are only approximate, not taking into account for the rounded corners, ribs & indents, etc. but do not include the pinch seam all the way around the tank:
33" wide and 25" long
5" deep at one end and 7.5" deep at the sender end
and here is a link to the stock replacement tank for the same year: http://www.jcwhitney.com/replacement-gas-tanks-for-cars-and-trucks/p2005688.jcwx?skuId=148972&filterid=c2034d19344y1993j1

let me know if that helps, or if you need different shots

here are the pics of it mounted plus the lines







it will get a cage/skid plate below the tank

As far as getting it running, I pulled the old fuel pump from the sender and just extended and draw tube down in it's place within the sending unit. I also flipped the float over in the other direction so that the fuel gauge would read in the correct direction. Any other information you're looking for?

Also here's the pirate thread, I found which tank to get from reading this: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=484247&highlight=ford+gas+tank
