Better Handling with 21 Extra Gallons (http://www.customclassictrucks.com/techarticles/1103cct_fuel_tank_upgrade/index.html)If a classic pickup has any trace of its original suspension left in place, it's going to ride and handle a lot better if it has a load in the bed. This is because all trucks are factory engineered to function under the assumption that they are going to spend most of their life working with extra weight over the rear axle. The extra weight brings the front-to-rear weight distribution closer to the ideal 50/50 balance and nothing but good things begin to happen. Under acceleration the truck has better traction, and when it's time to jump on the binders, provided it's not over loaded, the truck is going to stop better.
