My COE was originally a road tractor with a large saddle tank. Well, the fifth wheel and saddle tank are gone and a twelve foot flat bed has been installed. In an effort to get the truck on the road I installed a gas tank behind the seat, like a 1/2 ton. I quickly see why there was such a large saddle tank on the truck, she kinda likes gas. Now that I'm working the truck some, I can't put in a full days work on the behind the seat tank w/o a trip to the station.
My question is, was there an option for an auxiliary tank in '52? I don't see it covered in my repair manual. I would like to install a switch that switches the fuel supply and gauge at the same time. I have a junk '76 C70 that could supply the flipper switch and a '72 F700 Ferd to supply a rectangular 35gal tank for under the bed.
None of this is original, but what would be original? I am focusing on using this truck, but want to keep an original feel to it. thanks all.
