f/s auxilary sadle tanks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have auxilary saddle tanks for both sides off of my 71
they are in good shape still had gas in them, so no rust visible.

I am bagging my truck and this is needed space.
the valve to switch tanks is not with them.
I don't know if they are worth anything or not.
I would start at $100 but would not turn down an reasonable offer.
for pick up only as they are pretty heavy.
I am in the Portland area and could meet somewherre if needed.

Got any ideas of how much they each weigh?

GREENCHEYENNE · 02-18-2007, 10:46 PM

they are probably a good 45-50 pounds a piece
shipping would be more than they are worth, and I would think there would be as problem shipping them as they smell like gasoline.

Have someone coming from Portland, via plane, and was wondering if it could be carryon.

these are way to big for cary on. they are about 17 gallon tanks.
they are roughly 3-1/2'x 2'x18"
and again theyb still are wet from gasoline so I don't think they would even let them near a plane.

Are these factory saddle tanks or aftermarket? A pic would be helpful.

Thanks,

they are the aftermarket tanks everyone talks about. You need the aluminium doors on the bed side for them.
