Wagons and Rancheros (57 - 59) used the same sender.  Have not found a supplier for those as they are different then the 500/300/Retractable senders.  Wonder if a 500/300 sender could be "tweeked" to work in the Ranchero/Wagon tanks?  I know thw arm and pickup would both need tweeking.

The arms is different on the Wagon and Ranchero.  The arm on the sender is shaped to go down and to the right and down to clear the baffle in the gas tank. 

I tried to bend one and it didn't work worth a SH*T..

No one makes reproduction units.

Just say'n...

I ordered one from dearborn awhile back for the ranchero, maybe thats why the gauge won't read the same every time I look at it. Its probably for a custom 300 tank.  Mark
