Yes, the tanks used in the Henney vehicles are indeed different. They are narrower than a stock tank, and as mentioned, have the whistle. The sending unit has screws to retain it to the top of the tank as well. In the case of my hearse, (51 model) the narrower tank is needed to accommodate the compartment used for storing the "church truck", or casket dolly. I currently have my tank removed and will be happy to post measurements to illustrate the difference.
