Gas tank year Differences, 73-81,-82-86,87 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have been flipping through the catalogs and have noticed that they list different gas tanks from 73-81, 82-86, and also 87. What is the difference in dimensions, length width, overall shape? I know they make different versions for gallon capacity, but are these tanks interchangeable? I ask this because I have the gas tank out of an 87 fuel injected truck, and a 1980 frame. I hope there is not a difference as I scored this tank for free.

I also have the 3 outlet fuel sending unit from the same tank that is in good working order, could I make this work with a carb?
