fuel tank interchange

[CAD]

Need a new fuel tank for my 88 ext cab 4x4 it has a side tank on drivers side. Was offered one from a 94 reg cab 4x4 tank on drivers side. will the 94 tank bolt up to the 88 and if so will it work with the dash fuel gauge? I don't really want to drive 75 miles and pull it out and pay to find out it won't work. Does anybody have any experiance in this area?

I'm not 100 percent sure about the interchangeability of the 88 and 94 mid fuel tanks, but I think they might have changed the tanks sometime in the early 90's. I'd be concerned about the placement of the mounting straps and the alignment of the fill neck. I do know that the voltage's are different on the 88 and 94 sending units, the stock 88 gauge won't work correctly with a 94 sending unit.

No problem, If you can find one for an 86-91 you should be good with the fit and fuel gauge. Good luck.
