I have an 88 302 also and mine has a factory 32 or a 33 gallon tank. I don't know the exact because I can never afford to fill it to the top but once. I guess they must of came with different capacitys from the factory.

Stock it shows in my owners manual as 32gal. Gives me about a 300Mile range :-( That is why Im putting a mass air system with better cam and a 5.0HO motor in it.. should wake it up and get about 16mpg to boot (or better???) from what I have read.

I take the truck on long hauls and want the added range. Like another 15 gal or so would be good.
Starts to fuss? how so? Changed the fuel filter lately?

My '79 has a 33gal tank and my '89 has a 32gal tank. I'd drive from Indianapolis to Southwest Missouri on a single fill.
Except for my wife, I'd never have to stop.
:~
Try three 5gal jerry cans.
BTW, cruise control on the InterState makes a BIG, BIG difference.

I cant imagine that you would do more harm than good. There has to be a reason you need a full tank to keep it running right. They tell you it should last the life of a car but how long did they figure someone was going to own her? 
Really dont want to carry Jerry cans. Want something out of site and something that works slick.
What kind of mileage are you getting out of your 79 and have you rebuilt it?
Have a friend with one that we are going through as we speak so may bug you about getting some pics of some stuff if you would be so kind as we assemble this beast.
His has a 400M with an auto in it. Nothing special but it use to be mine
Thanks

Alternately, custom build a tank to replace your current one.
