Larger fuel tanks

My 81 full size long wheelbase truck has two 16 gallon tanks mounted on each side of the truck.
Im thinking about replaceing them with factory 20 gallon tanks.
My question is are the 20 gallon tanks a direct bolt on. Will the hangers on the frame have to be moved to make the tank straps line up.
I guess I will need shorter filler hoses but besides this is it basically I straight bolt on job without modifications?
Also I havnt taken my old tanks off yet but everything looks rusty. I know im going to need new tank straps and rubbers but im wondering what else im going to end up replaceing. Example lock ring and o ring for the sending units?
Thanks
