Default Flareside rear tank swap question

Everything I research says that I have an 18 gallon tank in the back of my short bed, regular cab 92 flareside with 4wd.

Th other day I noticed a small leak in one corner of the tank that I easily patched. However, I plan to replace the tank in a few weeks and begin pricing out my options. Rockauto has a 19 gallon rear tank with straps, pump, sending unit, and lock ring all pre- installed.

My question is, would this 19 gallon tank simply drop in where my 18 gallon tank is now? I'm not interested in fabbing anything, just looking for an easy replacement.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Other than the extra gallon the difference is one is steel the other is plastic.
