The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Saddle-tanks on a 68 .. Keep 'em?

Bolters - As I finish my 52 1 ton (picture will be forth coming), my eyes turn towards my 68 CST. It has dealer installed saddle tanks. They are functional, but rather ugly.

I'd be interested in people's thoughts about keeping them.

Like my 52 I want to keep the spirit of the truck, but complete originality is not required by me (she is already well equipped 396/AC/TH400 etc..)

Thanks

i took them off my 62 2 ton i had. not because of the look but i didn't want to have to worry about running gas thru them when i really only used the tank behind the seat. i think some look better with them but if you don't use them???

Excellent Point !! My thought is no.. but with a 396

my 62 had a 427. it would cruse at 35 mph in 5th gear high on rear end so it didn't get good milage. but i still didn't drive it far enough to warrent using them. the insides were cruddy anyway. oh well don't have the truck anymore anyway. good luck w/ yours.
