Been out to Carlisle and just got back, while there I picked up a book that I had never seen before for 77 Dodge trucks. It is the 1977 Dodge Truck Sales Manual. In it it breaks down standard equipment, available packages, whats new for 1977 and additional factory installed options. It covers all trucks, Ramchargers, Sportsman wagons, Tradesman Vans, d500,600 & 700 trucks, Motorhome chassis pretty well all aspects of the truck line for that year. There were some options that I had no idea were available and were a first for that year, but my point to this is in the additional factory installed options for d100,d200,d300,w100,w200,w300 and w400 it lists and I quote "HL4 In-cab 24 gal. cap. mtd. behind seat on conv. or crew-cab sweptline pick-up models N.A. w/hinge-back bench seat" so it was available but the seat would have not folded forward, as in the bucket seat "buddy seat" package like in my truck or a fixed bench seat that did not fold forward. So I think there is the answer as far as 77 is concerned.

Geezer thanks for posting that link. If you look at the original schedule notice it does say code HL4 Fuel tank 24 gal in cab w/??? I can't read the last three letters looks like it might say lid but I'm not sure.

This is the correct wording for the HL4 option.
HL4 24 gals.---In Cab behind seat---For use with 131" wb. Conv and 165 wb. Crew Cab Sweptline pickups only. Not available with Hinged-Back Bench Seat.
The standard tank was frame mounted in front of the rear axle. The HL4 in cab was in addition to the factory frame mounted tank.
I ordered my 77 reg cab short box 4x4 new and I could not get an auxiliary tank. I added the new tank before I drove it. The bench seat with the fold down back would work but the release levers had to be bent on a 45 degree so they would not rub through the tank. 30 seconds with a 12 inch crescent wrench fixed that.
Again if someone can prove they had a factory short bed regular cab put up the documentation. Just because it has one now does not mean it rolled out of the factory with one 36 years ago.
They are out there. Biggest way to tell if factory or not is the nice Metal decal next to the switcher valve switch in the dash below the ac controls... if it is there and says "STD in AUX out", then it is factory. There was no replacement part for that decal... if its got that decal, and no in bed spare tire mount, then its factory. But what do I know...I'm friggin stupid when it comes to these trucks....

After mid 75 model year there were no more in cab tanks in the factory service manuals or parts catalogs
Really, my factory parts manual shows them through 78...and seen 79 utilines with them, and had an 80 govt blm crew cab with one.
My parts manual is a little worn That's why I was surprised to see it in the 78-84 manual I have
It may be missing some pages but I have a brand new NOS one I can break out when I get home

I saw 77 and 440 so I had to come in. I often wonder how many Macho PW's came in 77 with long bed and 440? Oh and no it does not have a cab tank.

I've run into a guy who claims his truck is one of less than 100 77 D150 Custom with a 440
Since there is no possible way to prove this, he could say whatever.
I have one 2wd shortbed, two 2wd Longbeds and 5 clubcabs in registry. 4wd's? Have 15 shortbeds.
