Single gas tank side? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Number21 · 10-04-2010, 05:03 PM

I'm just curious here...my '73 has dual tanks, but I'm wondering if it came from the factory that way. The passenger side has the normal 20 gallon tank with the cap on the bedside. The driver side tank is aftermarket, very heavy steel with a custom locking gas door. It also has two seperate electric fuel pumps, so all the original plumbing is gone.

IF my truck left the factory with only one tank...which side would it be on?

My 73 single tank was on the right (passenger) side.

Mine also.

My '74 is single and is on passenger side (right). I really think '73 did not have the option for an auxiliary tank, but I'm wrong a lot.

*edit*
And I'm wrong, they were available according to below.

Thanks for the info...I think mine probably started as a single tank. Would a '73 have the same style tank switch as a '79?
