Replacing Ford 8N gas tank

Should be self evident.
There's about 4 bolts that hold it to the dash, one bolt in each dog leg.
Remove the neccessary wires and fuel line.
Nice to have help to lift it off if the gas tank is full but very easy job.
 
Remove the front bumper if so equipped.

Disconnect the fuel line at the sediment bulb.

Disconnect the headlamp wireing at the switch.

Remove the 4 bolts attaching the hood to the dash.

Remove the radiator cap.

Remove the 2 bolts attaching the dog legs to the front axle support.

Remove the grill.

Lift up on the front of the hood to clear the radiator neck.

Lift up on the rear of the hood to clear the dash.

It is easiest if the fuel tank is empty or nearly so.

You will need two people to lift the hood off if you do not have a means of lifting from above.

Send the radiator to a good radiator shop for inspection and repair before reassembly.
