My 72 came with two tanks but was an option!

Not sure when,but they became an option during this body-style(driver side).The doors you see are from aftermarket installations.The factory responded to demand by adding the option.Here`s the factory aux.tank on a`72:

the square cover you are refering to are dealer installed units. Stock ones have a pipe coming out the bed side with a cap much like the normal in-cab unit.

Hey,an`83 is as classic as a`72 was 11 years ago.

(aux fuel tanks) My current bed has a hole and cover on each side for this but my truck does not have them nor will I get them. The new bed I am going for does not have this. I am thinking of re-mounting the little acccess doors just to keep the look. I dought I will. Cool thread!
