Default Dumb question

OK I'm just curious and this might be dumb but exactly how big is the gas tank in a 1997 dodge ram 1500?

Short bed you got a 26, long bed you got the bigger one 30 or 35 gallon.

Ok I filled my truck up with gas. Which made my wallet lighter but I was down to a quarter of a tank. So to fill it up I put in 17 gallons so if I did the math my gauge is off just a little and it would be around 26. So did Dodge ever make an auxiliary tank for the second gen truck. Just because I know that all the other trucks that year had them on there.

Sorry, let me rephrase, long bed had the option for the big one. AFAIK they did not make dual tank 1500 trucks.

Ok I wasn't sure because on Kelly Blue Book I was curious on how much my truck was worth so were you input the options your truck has it has a category dual fuel tanks. No joke just check it out.
