You ain't kidding. I've been searching on and off for the past few hours without any success.

Those look exactly like them but if you look at the application tanks it doesn’t have any 18/19 gallon tanks..??

I wish I could tell you one way or the other.... I'm in the collecting parts phase and it's 20 deg in my garage... not touching this project until spring... so if I got the wrong ones I will not find out for a bit. I'm hoping they are correct based on previous posts... about the ones from bronco graveyard and x-ref from these ones.
and yea it would have been really nice to have a ford parts list to use as a master but seems like everybody has a different idea about how this should be done.
I'm swapping over the Toyota fuel stuff to the ford tank so I will be cutting up the ford tank.

I have a feeling they are not the exact right ones, curious to see if they work though. I think I’m just gunna roll with the bottom straps for now.. I emailed bronco graveyard to see if they will ever come back in stock and I’ll let you guys know what they say.
You could try fabbing your own upper straps like midcoma did in this post https://www.toyota-4runner.org/1984524-post18.html

If I notice it moving around a bunch without the upper straps I’ll fab something up. Would be much easier and probably more cost effective to just buy it if I can find it though.
I got mine a month ago from LMC truck, haven't put them in yet but they look right.

Nice thank you, I’m about to place my order. Any chance I could get you to post a picture of them?

Look at the last 2 posts in this build. Seems like the Ford pump might not cut it after 4K rpms?? Thinking maybe I’ll just have to do something like midcoma and use the oem pump/bracket..

I picked up the ford tank and a 4runner tank.... because the Toyota tank has baffles and sump. I remember reading thru some i8mud posts where people who did this swap were having fuel issues with ford tank + ford sending unit.... it's why I decided to grab both tanks and move over the toyota stuff onto the ford tank.
it will be a pain and it costs more for sure but.... if it works better in the end... worth it IMO.
Yes, I tried going wot up to 75ish mph on the Ford pump and the engine just starves fuel and shuts off. I never looked for any specs on the Ford fuel pump, I guess I should have done that first... There might be an aftermarket Ford pump sold by someone that fits in the tank that can handle the increased load.
For now I'll just switch to the stock tank before passing someone on the highway, but the best solution is definitely to find the right pump and put that in, especially for people that wanted to delete the stock tank.

I actually posted something in Kirk's build thread earlier, Quantum supposedly makes a high volume pump for the rear F150 tanks. I'm trying to do the tank swap eventually and this is on my radar as a fix:
Quantum 340LPH Direct Drop-In Rear-Tank Fuel Pump Assembly for Ford F150 1990-1996, Replaces Airtex E2064MN

Sorry, I was not at my shop for a few days but here are some pics. Seems like they will work.
And of course it won't let me attach photos here :rofl: post your email and I can send them too you if you really want to see.

All good, I already have them haha. They look like the right ones. Thanks though!
Hello!
I have my brackets and crossmember welded in and paint drying. I was weeding through the thread and never came across a simple filler neck solution. Just wondering if I'm going to be cutting and welding the filler tube as well or if there is a rubber option that just works off a shortened fill tube?

I just dropped my tank out so I might be able to take some pictures once I get home. I had a FN724 Filler Neck and a Gates 24712 2" Fuel hose into the wheel well, the fuel hose needed to be trimmed quite a bit. I'm not sure if this is the best solution, gas leaks out of the cap when the 4runner is at a 45 deg angle... Maybe plumbing the vent correctly will solve that though.
I just finished roughing everything in. I franken-fillered it with the stock rubber and steel fill tubes cut up and hose clamped together. It doesn't look to crazy lol. I was planning on plumbing the fill vent into the Ford breather on top of the tank. How did you run your vent that you think it is causing a leak out the cap?

Random thought....
Long Range America has an aux fuel tank for the rear of our 4Runners. I wonder what they are doing for the hose routing and fuel filler? I wonder if you could purchase their fuel filler and if it would work in conjunction with the F150 tank?
I may just inquire and try to get a photo of their parts list.
