I feel a need to circle back around to the reason that I started this post...
When I bought the truck in 2009 and started in on completing the restoration, the truck did not come with a working fuel gauge. I finally got around to installing a NOS fuel gauge, new after-market sending unit from a major vendor, and ran new wiring. The fuel gauge works, but with a full tank of gas, it pegs at the 3/4 full mark. I thought perhaps the after-market sending unit was to blame for this reading. My thought that it may have been better to try and track down an NOS sending unit to remedy this reading issue. From what has been shared by Jon G, that NOS sending unit idea doesn't sound like the answer to having the gauge peg to F. Being that I now finally have a "working" fuel gauge, I can live with it the way that it is vs. having to watch how many miles I drive before needing a fill-up.
