The C/K Pickup With Unsafe Side Saddle Tanks
The side saddle fuel tank design installed in over 10 million trucks B all 1973-87 General Motors full-size pickups and cab-chassis trucks (pickups without beds) and some 1988-91 dual cab or RV chassis B is the worst auto crash fire defect in the history of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
