Quite a coincidence that Tony's chassis has been shortened to 115" - makes it a very worthwhile exercise IMO.
Your eyes don't deceive you Tony. Fuel tank capacity according to the driver handbook was 2 x 21 gall tanks.

Acceleration (with a 12,000 pound load) is a blistering 29.5 MPH achieved in 46 seconds over a 1/4 mile run, and a top speed of 41 MPH. Compare this with a F15 which achieves a speed of 42.5 MPH over the same distance in 33 seconds with a 1500 pound load.
