Saddle tanks

[kbill45@gmail.com]

I have a 69CST/10 with saddle tanks that are not presently hooked up. They both have some gas and do not smell stale. The po said when he smelled gas he dis connected the tanks. I just recovered the seats and would like to rig them to tilt forward, remove the in cab tank and utilize the space. Is this a good idea? Was there ever a problem with saddle tanks? What is their capacity? I would like to keep the under bed spare mount so not high on a tank mounted there. Not a daily driver.

Sorry but I do not know how to post pictures. Age related problem dob 3/29/33. obvious solution - live in grandkid - been there.
