One in cab and one under, but only one gas cap. The filler neck had a Y in it and one branch went straight into the cab tank, and one branch went down, through the floor and into the frame tank. You simply stuck the nozzle in horizontal to fill the cab tank, or stuck it in pointing down to fill the frame tank. On my current 75 W100 440 shortbox, it only has the in cab tank but has two gas caps. The one on the box is a painted dummy cap which is screwed in place. I had another like that too.

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. 77 Dodge Adventurer SE 440 2wd SWB 78 Dodge Adventurer SE 440 2wd Utiline 90 Dodge D150 SWB 2wd 318fi 4speed 60 Desoto Adventurer 2dr 67 Dodge Dart Gt Conv. 273 4bbl 04 PT Cruiser GT Turbo 14 Ram R/T "Life's to short to drink cheap beer."

For what I use it for, it doesn't need it. I also got tired of the sloshing sounds all the time. The in frame tank gives me plenty of fuel.

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. 77 Dodge Adventurer SE 440 2wd SWB 78 Dodge Adventurer SE 440 2wd Utiline 90 Dodge D150 SWB 2wd 318fi 4speed 60 Desoto Adventurer 2dr 67 Dodge Dart Gt Conv. 273 4bbl 04 PT Cruiser GT Turbo 14 Ram R/T "Life's to short to drink cheap beer."

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....
