A,B,C,E, whatever

I ask because I am putting a big block in a 49 Fargo(dodge) truck.

The factory tank is 18 gallons. Seems like enough but the tank sure looks small.


I want to take some highway trips, so I don't want it to become a major PITA. As long as my range is similiar to a factory muscle car, I figure I'm ok.

Thanks

I'd consider adding a extra tank in the bed if your gonna drive far away. it's nice having extra fuel on board.
I have had a 100 gal tank in the back of my dually for 12 years. so I didn't have to get ripped off out on the road, paying for premium and getting regular, my truck can tell. it's great having the extra gas on hand, like filling the mower at home and the wifes car every once in a while. My own personal tanker truck. lol

...about 25 gallons. I never did the math and don't have enough clean cans to pump it all out and measure.
