if you can still get at the hole to install a sender later, sure .... what year truck? where's the tank? do you plan on putting gas in it without the sender? if you mean can you use the tank without the sender installed ..... really?

Assume you mean the sender (float, resistor, etc & not the sending unint asm.
Do you need to replace it because you have aftermarket fuel gauge or is it rotted off? If just the gauge, go for it, don't let it run out!

that link is for a sender ... you're buying that for the tank you already bought? the tank is going under a 64 BelAir? looks like the sender goes in the side, you might be able to fit the sender in after the tank is in, but it'd likely be easier before installing the tank, might be stuff in the way after
