Yup, all 30. You can get a ramcharger tank for an aux, that goes between the frame rails where your spare is.

Accept if you have air ride suspension than it won't go in . But I'll sacrifice my fuel capacity for ride quality any day.

Cool, I like the sound of 30 gallons. I went to the dealership with my VIN and it said 24 gallons, but it looked too big compared to the 20 gallon midship tank on my Ford.

Is your truck a Canadian truck. I believe that 24 imperial gallons is the capacity of my 91. My 94 chev had 28 imperial gallons.

My truck is canadian and I don't think I could squeeze 30 gallons into her. Thats more than 130 litres, the most I have ever put in mine was 90 I think.

IDK if it's Canadian or not... I saw "Made in Canada" on the jack, but havn't looked elsewhere. The truck was ordered for South Carolina DOT, so I kinda doubt it. I guess I'll just have to figure it out when I fill it up at a fuel station, but that may be a few months because the free fuel!

Can someone expand on this, first I have heard of it. If I remove everything from a donor truck will it bolt in, except for the fuel fill of course. I had been considering a box tank but hate to give up that much bed.
