Fuel sender & 12V conversion on a 1953 Clipper.

The fuel tank in my Knackered Packard arrived uninstalled, with extensive internal rust and a 6x8in hole carved into the top with an angle grinder. Sloppy work from a shipper who needed to be sure the tank was drained, apparently. I'm trying to talk a local chemical stripping place into dipping the tank to remove the paint and rust to repair it. Trying to confirm a few details about the Ford sending units specific in the cross-reference.

Has any fitted Ford PN B7A-9275-F to a 1953? The cross-ref specifies it for 1955-1956 vehicles, and Kanter's tempting all-new tank is specified for 1951-1956. So I'm probably good, but confirmation from anyone who's already been through this can save some time. The good news is, the car will have a small 6V power supply for the horns and gauges, so I don't need to futz with finding a 12V sender or adapting the 6V circuitry.
