Fuel Capacity?

Hey guys,
i have a 87 f250 diesel and don't have a owners manual and am wondering what the fuel capacity is for both the front and the rear stock tanks. Thanks much.

All rear tanks hold 19 or 20 gallons, front one will be about the same most of the time, but in case of a reg-cab 4x4 truck the transfer case gets in its way so Ford put in a smaller tank, 16 or 17 gal IIRC.

Short beds had a 16.5 and the rears were about 19...
