I was under the impression that if you had a 20 gal tank, you would also have to change it to the 16 gal tank, but don't quote me on that.

Yes. Most long beds had 20 gallon tanks. Some of them got 16 gallon tanks instead. A 20 gallon tank will not fit in a shortbed truck.
If you have a 20 gallon tank, you'll need a 16 gallon tank to take its place. The tank brackets can be reused, but you'll likely want new mounting bolts. If you're buying a new tank, go ahead and buy a new sender unit to go with it. The fuel filler hose and/or neck needs to be changed. I don't know about the fuel lines.
