I am in search of a domestic fuel sending unit that will drop into the Toyota tank. I am no longer running the factory gauge setup in my rig, so I am lacking a fuel gauge. Since the factory sending unit is opposite of most other units, I can't find a gauge to match it. And its kind of frustrating not knowing how much fuel is in the tank. So my question is: Is there a sending unit that will drop into the factory 87 tank to work with an aftermarket gauge?

i think a gm sending unit will fit, I would source a Toyota fuel sending unit gasket, then take it down to your local auto parts and find the correct bolt pattern to match gasket

You could always bend the float around 180 degrees
