I found a Ford NOS fuel sending unit for a 1948 Ford panel truck on eBay. Figured the actual sending unit base would work and I would just modify the float arm to work with my 48 Tudor sedan. Not so or atleast for not I can’t get it to work.

Problem is the sending unit will not drop down and sit flush on the tank. It’s sitting about 3/8 to 1/2in off the tank. The dimensions look to be spot on so not sure what’s causing the hang up. Does anyone know if the sending unit is bigger for the trucks?
