I'm sure that this in conjunction with a turbonator will improve MPG!
Hey, Hey. Let's not bash a true miracle of science and technology. That piece of metal hand formed into a work of art is a collectors item and at least proves that my old man was right when he said a good salesman could sell ice water to an Eskimo!

I think the early F150's ext cab with 8 foot boxes came with a 30 gallon tank, maybe more I don't know...That's alot of gas!!!!!
yeh i didnt know they new ones had such a huge tank on them. but i did remember scarse long beds having the 30 gallon tank as well. but a long bed truck has much different wind factors then a short bed...
