The lack of gas stations on every corner back then was the biggie. I can tell you from past experience a cross country trip (or just to town and back in a big and open state) in one of these trucks with only the cab tank can make you a little nervous. Middle of Wyoming in the middle of the night theres not much for gas stops. I would of loved to had about 5 tanks on my truck.
