Man, you MAY have just saved me a LOT (more) searching with this link.

My truck isn't a 60-66 but the issue I have an issue that maybe applies to some of you guys: My '46 truck came with some kind of F*rd tank between the frame rails and behind the rearend and it fits pretty good. Problem? It has the F*rd ring type sending unit retainer instead of the typical GM/Universal 5 hole type fuel sender mounting.

I had the truck pro rewired when I bought it last summer and I bought TPI-Tech gauges. I because I knew I wanted the original factory cluster restored (in the future) but it was too costly then. So I went with the lower buck TPI gauges. They all work fine - no issues, and they even look pretty good in my opinion, see here: http://www.tpigauges.com/prod03.htm

I just haven't figured out how to make their five hole sending unit mount in my type of tank? I've searched Summit, Jegs, North Hollywood Speedometer, and other places for an adapter or something and no luck. MAYBE this place has or will make something for this application?

Have any of you guys figiured out how to solve this problem on the cheap? I think the gauges are 240/30 ohm. ANY help would be appreciated. - Dan
