Tank size

My 82 only has one tank. It does not look all that big. Can anyone tell me what size the stock tank is?

Re: Tank size

Sorry, its a shortbed. It did'nt even dawn on me when I was looking. I thought all the trucks came with dual tanks. With it being a 82 I guess it may have been a option. Oh well, one less thing to worry about breaking.

Re: Tank size

Believe it or not, my 78 SWB C10 with a 454 came from the factory with a single 16 gallon tank. I had to tow a filling station behind me if I ever went more than a few miles from home. Finally swapped in a 26.5 gallon tank where the spare tire was and now I have some breathing room whenever I go out of town.
