Hi Dave,
Thanks for posting the pictures, they're great. I could spend hours looking at that kind of stuff. In the third picture (right side of the truck), what is the box hanging below the passenger's seat? Is it a larger fuel tank? Seems awfully low... Is this normal?

Thanks,
Pete

Howdy Pete,

This is the normal gas tank on the early ser1's. It also had a guard on the bottom of it so it looks like its really hanging down there.
