There was a batch made a few years back, you sometimes see them pop up on Ebay or the dealer might be able to get them still. Like all the others the sender isn't accurate though. They go for about $150-$180

I have in the past used a Wema tank sender & had my IT friend solder a diode or resister or something in the line to make it or you can do what I do now when I use them which is taking a fuel gauge apart & refitting it into the stock cluster Wema makes them whatever length you need & you won't need another one ever again

After laying under this thing doing a trans swap, I'm kinda leaning toward putting a cell in it anyway. This thing will eventually be a hot rod toy, and the driveshaft that close to a plastic tank makes me nervous. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

That's what I did; replaced the plastic tank with a cell in the bed and I was able to run 3" dual exhausts down both sides with the tank out. I eventually will be putting some kind of cover on the bed to hide/protect the cell. 7941434-DSC02689.JPG (37 downloads) www.picturetrail.com/hemi_ram
