Thanks

that was pretty much what i planned in my head, i just was hoping it would look OE enough to fake out people who didn't know. not that my truck will fool anyone who has half a clue, but i still like to try

Thanks! That helps splain it to me. I've got saddle aux tanks with wheelwell fill, which I'm quite happy about! I like the factory aux tank filler on the bed, but not a huge fan of the doors for aftermarket or dealer added-tanks.

Most likely it would be the exact same part.

I had dual fiberglass tanks outboard of frame (saddle tanks) filled through wheel wells. There were no senders in these tanks, therefore no switch on dash. It had the 3 way valve next to drivers side of seat. This was on my 68 C20. I couldn't drive 95 gals worth of miles without having to stop for bathroom break anyways, so wouldn't need it.

Thg owner used it to carry a small camper and tow his jeep into the backcountry. The truck was a base camp and tanker with a transfer pump for the fuel.
