Saddle tanks??

I have a '76 F250 hiboy 4x4 flatbed pickup that I am going to use to tow my dory when it's finished this spring. The truck only has the stock 19 gallon tank behind the seat. This truck is a pig, 9mpg on a good day, downhill, with a tailwind, but I love it. I really need some extra fuel capacity. I would love to get some small, (25-30 gal.) saddle tanks to mount just behind cab, under the flatbed. Any ideas??

You should be able to get some out of a junk yard from a � ton pick up and mount them. I would take care in putting some nerf bars around them to protect them though as they will be exposed to someone hitting them. They mount on the outside of the frame.
By the way I have your thermos bottle from the fishing trip you took with me. Give me a call.

Thanks Tom, I was thinking more like small cylinders like on semi. I know I've seen them on smaller delivery trucks. I may have to go with the rectangular ones. I know I could find those at a junkyard.

Woody,

Don't forget about the credit that you have at Riverside Salvage.

Also, remember that my neighbor has a connection for a stock saddle tank here in Tangent.
