question for the gurus
The 76 F250 Ranger XLT camper special that I bought for a parts truck has dual tanks. The rear tank filler neck is recessed into the bed, but the front one just has a hole cut flush into the bed. And I have seen several others like this. Is it a dealer installed tank? Also noticed there is no tank selector solenoid between the tanks like on my 78 that I am trying to restore?

has the selector switch next to the HVAC, just like my 78. But I don't see the actual solenoid between the tanks. My biggest question is why one inset and one flush mount filler neck? I have a pic of the truck on here in another thread, but not smart enough to bring it here.
If so, from the factory, the auxiliary filler neck's hole was flush, it was not recessed like the rear filler.
To back that up, in the Ford parts catalog, it says nothing about with or without dual tanks on the 73-76 driver's side bed quarter panels. On the 77-79, where the fillers were behind the access door, it specifies with single tank and with dual tanks.

The switch in the heater control panel switches the tanks and the dash fuel gauge from one tank to the other.
1973/76 Stylesides have exposed fuel caps, 1977/79 Stylesides have fuel doors.
