Bob’s Fuel Sender Flange is Not Installed On:

1932 B-9002 & B-9002-LG. Uses VDO, Classic & SW.

1957-59 Ranchero B8A-9002. Uses original-style “Twist-Lock”.

1948-72 Ford Pickup Tanks use original senders.

Important Note for Using Aftermarket Gauges:

When purchasing a complete gauge set, the manufacturer’s own fuel

sender is included, because each gauge maker uses different ohm

settings which require using their own specific fuel sending unit.

CLASSIC &

Here at last! Now you can put those neat gauges in your dash like

VDO, Stewart-Warner, Classic Instruments and many others. The

Drake Team has designed our fuel sender hole flange for choices

in using aftermarket gauges, or use your original Ford gauge
