You could snatch up a later model fuel tank, or cut the hose and use an adapter (PITA, but it works). I just ran into this on my '74. I ended up using an exhaust pipe reducer in the hose.
all fleetside tanks were the same from 73-87 so idk how there could be different inlet sizes on the newer tanks.
