Usually that van is down by the river.

It's a '92. That doesn't seem that long ago but the time flies. My kids refer to it as "the old bomber". I bought it new when I got home from Desert Storm and it has been flawless for me - just regular maintenance stuff. I've thought of getting a new one, but why? It's paid for, runs great, looks good, and we know each other well.

Truck is as old as I am. Twin I-beam suspension is pretty solid. Though, up here twin traction beam is more of a requirement. What engine and transmission? Ever have any issues with the fuel transfer pump or switch? That was kind of a problem at times for dual tank trucks back then.

It's the 5.0 V8. As I remember it, they came with a 6 or an upgrade to the 5.0 or 5.8 if you had a tow package. I wanted a V8 but didn't need the towing. Color wise, it wasn't my first choice but it was the only one on the lot with an extended cab and the 5.0. The color grew on me and doesn't really show dirt. It has withstood the test time as well. It's an automatic tranny. I did replace the check valve on the transfer line between tanks about 20 years ago. It was pretty gummed up and I blame myself for rarely using the 2 tanks together. The trick with those is to actually fill them both up and use them. I only did that if I was taking a long road trip. Which is also a double edged sword. Sure, you can drive for hours without having to stop... but stopping is also a good thing. Since the replacement, I fill them up and run them out. I also run Chevron or Texaco only in it. No cheap no name gas.
