I have a 1986 Ford Crew Cab 6.9L Diesel which is just sitting in my yard. My bed is off so I could do some frame and tank work to it. I rigged up the tail lights so I can still drive it from time to time but I really want my bed back on the only thing is....
The pickup line on both tanks fell off which I am going to rig up copper tubing into a coil and then flare the ends to connect it to the original steel line and the infamous gauge does not work. I've taken both tanks apart and found my chip on the gauge in the tanks are worn out and have no contact on them. I tried to put 94 chips on it but it didn't work and was told that my gauges are 70 ohms at empty and 10 ohms at full which is why it didn't work. That site I've been told to go to doesn't specify what type of truck or the resistance values of the senders.

So I have no idea how to get my gauges to work. I was going to try to put resistors in the lines to match the 94' values but I don't know the 94' values. On the other hand I searched the chip number on the chip and no pictures come up on any of the sites so I'm not sure if its the right one. Any advice....
I'm driving a GMC Duramax in the meantime and I really want that bed on because I'd rather drive my Ford.
