Re: Fuel tank capacity?

I wanted to say 16 gallon myself. I think that is correct. I will try to look it up in my literature if no one else confirms.

Re: Fuel tank capacity?

Wait for Tony to chime in, I believe 20 gallon was optional and 16 or 18 was standard......

Re: Fuel tank capacity?

According to the original 1965 Chevrolet Truck brochure, fuel tank capacity for the C10 is 18.5 Gal., with an available 21-Gallon tank. This was found on the SPECIFICATIONS page.
