Bought a used 79 Ford half ton truck with almost no gas. The dealer was a cheapie and would not put any gas in it at all, just said to go to the nearest gas station. Headed in that direction but only made it a half mile, still a half mile from the station I was headed towards. Never went near that Ford dealer again.
Dad bought a new International1/2 ton truck in 1970. He was on vacation in 1971 and told me to drive it now and then to keep it from sitting too long. I drove it to work one afternoon and on the way home, the 1/4 tank on the gauge was not even fumes. It was dark and the nearest station was two miles away on a lonely road. I got there just as the guy was closing. he closed up and gave me a ride back to the truck with enough gas to get me to the nearest station 5 miles away. Never trusted that truck again.
