I saw this yesterday. I suspect this guy has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth when he fills it.

Saw that on JRitS . I thought it was a side-access beer cooler at first (that would explain the insulation). But no, I’m pretty sure that’s a fuel cap on top...

Oh it’s a fuel cap all right. I took the pic yesterday (and posted it there; didn’t have oppo posting rights until an hour ago). I actualy had to go back for a second look. Note that it has “the club” locked to the steering wheel. I think it’s there to keep anyone from stealing it. From stealing the club, I mean. I doubt anyone would hot wire anything with 5-6 gallons of gas sloshing around.

Oh that was you! Cool. You’re right; I can kinda see The Club through the window. lol

Looks like one of the older (early ‘90s?) F-trucks with the dual fuel tanks (probably both rusted out by now).

It’s actually a fly looking old truck. Pale (faded?) blue and white and actually looks pretty nice with the brown rust which is eating the thing from the bottom up. I’m guessing it’s seen winters with a lot of salt on the road. My guess is early 90's too. Looke like one my dad had back around the mid 2000's so that’d be about right. I’m about to walk to the store; if it’s still there I’ll snap a photo of more than just the tank.

Might actually be from the 80's. I’m not a truck guy but I think the corners got a bit more square in the 90's.

Ok yeah, that’s definitely a 7th-gen. Better shape than I was expecting!

The other side looks quite a bit worse. Actually, I think the thing is a bit photgenic as it looks a bit worse in person. It only has one original filler neck, so I think that pic up there ^ is the only tank it has.
