Installations like yours with the add-on saddle tanks and three-way selector switch were common installations on pickups back then, mostly thanks to the OPEC oil embargo of October 1973 that led to gas rationing. I installed a set-up like that on my pickup in early 1974 as a result of that.
Since the saddle tanks didn't have float switches in them, the usual way to use the 3 tanks was to run the first saddle tank dry, reach down as soon as the engine started to sputter and switch to the other saddle tank. When it ran dry, you could then use the main tank with the gas gauge.
