got mine from rockauto as well. do a part number search for "F26E" they are $171

funny thing is they are made in Canada but when I try and buy one here they cost about $400. $270 for the part and another $150 to have them ship it to me from the closest warehouse with stock.
they have a warehouse in Burnaby but apparently they wouldnt ship it internally from the stocking warehouse.
so I had to save $200 and buy from Rockauto LoL

I haven't looked at mine yet but I'm guessing there is not a good flat spot to put a sump. So you weld that in or just bolt with an o ring?

Also in for details. I plan on just using the 38 gallon rear tank with a sump and getting rid of the selector valve and front tank to simplify my fuel system.

you modify your existing stuff typically

I used modified bronco sending unit and put the fuel pump in the tank

FYI I would never sump a tank like that. Over time the vibrations that fitting experiences WILL break the steel around it causing it to leak. It's not IF but WHEN.
The proper way to install a sump would be to get one of the larger diameter billet alum sumps like what Bean's sells (they sell them for a reason).

Or, if you are set on building your own, start by welding a large diameter washer to the tank (3" or 4" diameter), then a smaller one, and so on, until you have a hole to install the bulkhead fitting. This will disperse the load across a wider area of the tank and essentially eliminate any cracking.
