twin gas tanks
I'm looking into installing a set of saddle tanks under my truck. I was wondering did this come stock on any trucks in the 67-72 years? Has anyone done this, is it a difficult conversion?
![]() I only have access thru a computer at work, so any replies, it might take me a day or 2 to get back to you... Thanks, Mike |

Soon as I figure it out, I'll PM you with address. |

The factory installed optional tanks are so much nicer, with the small chrome cap that matches the cab tank...if you can find a clean/rust free one. The square cutout doors are kind of crude, unless it is just a work truck and you don't care.

PICKEMUP - thanks for the info. This is a DD, that I'm planning on twin tanks, and putting a 14 bolt dual axle under the rear. From there, I'm currently looking at hauling with/for a guy I know here locally. She ain't no beauty queen yet...

LUV2XCLR8 - Are these still around, and the tanks and switch still available?
In general, isn't this the set-up (twin tanks) that was under the camper specials? Thanks |
