Most vehicles with two fuel tanks have two fuel pumps. If the fuel gauge shows the reading in the front tank, the switch is most likely good, and the fuel pump is bad.
You probably have a bad front tank fuel pump or you could have something wrong in the switch valve or selector switch, or even a problem in the wiring to the front fuel pump, but most likely a bad fuel pump.
Each tank has a separate fuel pump. If the front fuel pump has failed the engine will shut off each time you switch to the front tank.

The fuel shutoff switch is below the fuel tank. In order to access the switch, you need to remove the bolt at the rear of the tank and just loosen the hinge bolt at the front of the tank. Raise the tank up to enable your hand to squeeze underneath the tank to reach the switch.

The 1987 Ford F-150 uses a fuel tank switching system that is typically controlled by a switch located on the dashboard. This switch allows the driver to select either the front or rear fuel tank. The vehicle is equipped with a fuel selector valve that directs fuel from the chosen tank to the engine. When the switch is activated, the valve changes position, allowing the engine to draw fuel from the selected tank while preventing fuel flow from the other tank.
