Default Help Adding Second Tank

Need some direction! I grabbed a ‘93 F150 Extended Cab as a parts truck for my ‘94 F150 Standard Cab. I needed the trans, but grabbed the front tank out of it before it was hauled off, and the switch out of the dash (minus the plug unfortunately, I left it on the dash and the truck was picked up before I was able to go back and grab the extra parts I wanted).

I Didn’t have much time to do any research before hand, but I wasn’t able to find a module like I’m used to seeing on the dual tank set ups as I was pulling the 4.9, trans, and transfer case. Ideally I would have had time to pick it apart a little more for parts down the road, but the shop I was using didn’t have space to keep it around for me any longer.

I would really like to run the dual tank, because I get a lot of woods time on back roads, and rather than carry extra 5ers, it’d be nice to have the extra fuel available at the flip of a switch. Can anyone tell me what all I would need to do to turn my single tank ‘94 into a dual tank setup? I cut the fuel door off the side of the donor truck, and measured out where I’ll need to weld it in, and double checked that the space was available in my short bed, and the frame has the slots for the stock hangers.

Do I need to get a module, and is it fairly easy to wire in the stock position tank selector switch? Are there any issues I may run into with wires or lines? I left the stock fuel pump in the tank when I pulled it, because it that was the tank the guy that sold me the truck ran.

The rig it’s going into is a 1994 Ford F150 Standard Cab 4X4 with the 4.9 and M5R2, if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance for everyones help.
