Do any of you know if dual tanks were an option on 47 1 tons? Our tank is mounted inside the frame rails with the filler on the passenger side. Inside the cab is a brass fuel valve marked "On, Res, and Off". Currently there is only one fuel tank on the truck. On the drivers side, it looks like the bed has a slight relief in the driver's corner for another filler neck.
I know that this could have been done as an aftermarket addition - but did they offer this as a factory or dealer option?
Don't know if I want to add a second tank - don't really need one, but just wondering/wandering as we inspect the newest member of our family.
We're thinking about naming her "Bertha". I love the GD song, even tho' the lyrics may not be that complementary.....

I wonder if this is one fuel tank with two pickups at differnet depths? Like many motorcycles have?
