I think it's about 20 & 19. Thats what I can usually get in mine if they are real low. Mine is a 93 4x4 460 5spd, long bed.

The tank capacity is something like 18.2 front and 16.2 rear. When filling up though you will most likely never get that much in since there is some gas in the tank.

The manual for that year will state that the capacities for those tanks are 19.0 gallons and 18.2 gallons, front and rear, respectively. Actual amounts you can pump into them vary a little.

I think the numbers I had are for regular cab short bed dual tanks.

I believe that my owners manual says mine being regular cab long bed is 19 front and 18.2 rear.
