That's a first for me as well.

4x4 shortbeds with dual tanks do exist. I saw one parked in a parking lot once.

Strangely enough, guys, my 1987 Ford Truck Factory Owners "Do It Yourself" Guide Lists ONLY 19 gallon tanks, front and rear, for everything except SWB (standard wheel base - non supercab/crewcab) two tank trucks, which have a 16.5 front. So did the latter models get shafted with smaller tanks?? F250HD Custom

My Ford Owners Manual lists my tank capacities as 19 front and 18.2 rear, US gallons. My truck is a 94 F150 Extra Cab Long Box. 15.8 and 15.2 Imperial or 72 and 79 liters respectively. At our current price of 129.9 per liter it costs a small mortgage to fill from E. Still love my truck though.

My 1987 F150 XLT Lariat single cab holds 19.x, Front and 15.x Rear although I have yet to run them "dry."

I had read a few years ago that 32 gal bronco tanks could be mounted in the bed of a truck with the spare tire removed.

I cant seem to find a reliable link now.

any confirmation on this?

So my 94 f350 CCLB 4x4 (351/E4OD) holds 19.5 front and 15.2 rear?
Also, my 85 f250 RCLB 4x4 (300/T18) has a single front tank if it matters, unknown size but its pretty large and even with the tiny 4 speed and married case theres only about 6-8" from the t-case and gas tank touching.
