fuel tank size?
Sorry if this has been posted before. Can someone tell me the fuel tank size on a gen. 3 shortbed vs. longbed?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re:fuel tank size?
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm surprised it is such a small difference. I'm used to gassers with long beds having 34 and short beds having 24 - 26.
Hmmm, 35 gallons at approx. 18 mpg. I like the sound of that. ;D Now I'm lucky to get 275 miles on a tank of gas.

Re:fuel tank size?
Rather than start a new thread on the EXTREMELY old subject of mileage, I'll just bore everyone here.
Just made a trip to Ohio and back on Saturday and Sunday. Drove exactly 1286 miles and used exactly 60 gallons of fuel.
I stop pumping fuel when the pump pops off on it's own. This truck has never let me get more than another qt in after letting the foam settle. Others I have had I could easily get another gallon or two in. But not the 03.
21.4 mpg at 75 mph.
6sp, ho, 3.73 rear
calculated by gallons and miles, not with the on board computer.
It's what I always get, as long as I don't go above 75 mph.
When the truck was new, I had to stay at 70 mph to do this well. Now at 11,000 miles
