I think most of them were dealer add ons, although mine were installed by a PO, I only have on left though, and there's not a cab tank. I guess it's nice not having it in the cab but it gets in the way of a toolbox, which I would like to add.

They are not GM factory items, but are either aftermarket or dealer add-ons. Mine are Travel Tanks, apparently a fairly common brand back in the day, and your description sounds like what I have. Also look for a three-way manual valve on the floor near the driver's door.

My truck had these same saddle tanks -- I don't know anything about them other than my grandad had them added to the truck. The filler necks were in the rear wheel wells, and there was a three-way switch by the driver seat.
