fuel sending unit

Hey out there My name is Bill with a 52 l110 longbed.I had to bite the bullit and drop the tank to check for rust and guess what i found ?I RUST i have to get tank boiled and coated. Is there a source for a fuel sending unit out there as the gauge is working? im also still looking for a horn.What is the compatibility between the l and r series trucks?> thanks in advance

If other IHC owners know which state or province you live it is a big incentive to offer help.

The last two I purchased came from Ebay for around $40. Horns are also on Ebay but a little pricey. Do you have a parts book for your truck? If not, get one. It makes life much simpler. A lot of the L and R series parts will interchange but there are many slight differences. Just enough to make you pull your hair out. My trucks are all medium and heavy duty so the light duty trucks are a little out of my comfort zone. Good luck with your project.

The sending unit most people buy--because NOS are few and far between--is the one from Bob Drake, a Ford products supplier. Ford also used King-Seeley gauges same as IH.

The sender is part number 99A-9275. The float is brass and the float arm is adjustable to fit your tank.

The neoprene sender gasket they send is thicker than the cork original, and I discovered that AutoZoo [AutoZone] has 5mm bolts of the same thread pitch as the original sending unit screws, but in the length you need. [Sorry, I didn't write down the length at the time I did mine.]

thanjs for your help

Thanks Buzz sender is on the way.It also comes with the longer screws. thanks for everyones heip.

I will be very interested to see if it works. I tried the Ford one once in my KB-2 with no luck. Of course that could be installation/operator error on my part. - Stickman 207

I put an original FERD sender, not a repop in my 49 KB-1 panel, seems to work fine, gets along with the gauge, no fighting,

I have 2 NOS IHC senders in my garage but the panel didn't make the grade to be worthy of unobtainium,
