The universal tank from Tanks, Inc is what I am running on a 54. Capacity is 16 gallons and cost is about $215 with free shipping.

Make sure the gas gauge you are using is compatible with the sending unit in the tank before you make a decision. If you are using the stock gauges the ford sending unit will not work.

If you are using aftermarket gauges you can get a gauge to make the ford sending unit ohm range.

If you are planning to run your exhaust out the back you will need to ensure you have about 3 inches of clearance between the tank side and the leaf springs if you have not changed to another suspension system.
