I have so far found two different styles of fuel tank for 58 W100s, the majority of 58 W100s use the 57 W100-W200 style gas tank, which is very similar to the WDX-WM300 gas tank. Though I think the filler neck is in a different spot.
The later 58 W100s use the 59-60 style tank, which is also hard to find as it was used on 59-60 W100s and W200s, plus some 58 W100s and W200s, but to my knowledge nothing else. At least not will the same filler location.
The way to tell the difference is to look at the location of the straps that held your tank in place, if they are the same as your 57 then you need the old style tank, if they are wider you need the new style tank.
As soon as my website comes back up I can show you pictures of both styles.
The running board is used on all 54-58 116" WB trucks with a 7 1/2' bed. At least that is what I have found so far. So a 2wd truck can provide that part.
Good luck, and let me know what tank you had, I am trying to figure out if there is a serial number breakdown for when they changed.
