 50-Gallon Fuel Tank Available For F350, F450 and F550 Chassis Cabs

Transfer Flow has introduced a 50 gallon midship diesel fuel tank system for 1999-2008 Ford F350, F450 and F550 chassis cabs with 84", 108" amd 120" cab-to-axle lengths, as well as some 60" cab-to-axle models. This fuel tank can replace the smaller stock midship or aft axle fuel tank, or be used as an auxilary fuel system on a chassis with an aft fuel tank.   Manufactured from 12 and 14-guage aluminized steel and powder coated black, this tank features baffles to further increase strength and to reduce fuel slosh. This tank system comes with new straps and all necessary mounting hardware, and auxiliary applications also include Transfer Flow's patented TRAX-II operating system, which displays fiel volume and automatically transfers fuel between the two tanks. Call Transfer Flow at 1-800-442-0056 for information!

Geweke Auto Group New Commercial Truck Website

or
 
Larry Geweke Ford in Yuba City and Geweke Ford in Lodi have a new combined commercial truck website that just went online. The new website was built by Upward Trend Management Services and will be continually updated and expanding. Due to the specialty of the commercial truck market, having a separate website for your commercial truck operation makes perfect sense and having it built and maintained by commercial truck people, not just web people is a huge plus.
 
Having separate URL addresses is also a plus. Now you can promote your commercial truck department in a much better way. Now when you get a customer on the phone from outside the area or even across town, you can guide them to the website and show them large photos of what body you want them to see. Contact information is on every page, along with additional contact information on the contact page. This site just started and will continue to grow over time. It currently has 35 pages of information, links, and photos. You can really promote your commercial truck department with a site like this.
 
For more information, ask Paul Brown about their site, or contact Terry at 707-434-9967 to discuss a site for your store.
