Have an 88 extended cab and has the two tanks with switch. Just had to change the drivers side middle tank. It had rusted out at the seam at the front of the tank. There is a hard plastic cover that protects tank from rocks or what ever and road dirt and debri settels between the two and sooner or later if ya dont clean it out it will rust out.

I've got an '88 XLT Extended Cab and mine has the dual tanks and the spare mounted in the bed behind driver. When I switch to the rear tank the gas gauge doesn't but other than that it's a great option.

I just went through fixing the dual tanks on my 83. Had to replace the selector valve and replace all the lines, vents, etc. I think they changed up the senders for 85 through 88 dual tank trucks so they may be different that the first year trucks too.

If you have a good rear tank take care of it because you won't find one for sale ever. I think the only reason mine survived is because old diesel doesn't rust out tanks like old gas will.
