Re: Do you really need to move the gas tank for safety?

I don't see a safety issue. You can argue that the fumes are unpleasant, but a properly sealed tank won't release any inside the cab. Took me a while to get that completely squared away.

Otherwise, its personal choice. I decided not to move the tank, I actually installed a new tank in the stock location to replace the old cruddy and leaking one. I didn't want to have to deal with the hole in the side of the cab or figuring out where to put the filler. I also solved the leaking gas cap issue, so even completely full in a hard right turn I get no leakage.

I personally like the vintage feel, and I love watching the attendant look for the gas cap all over the truck (full service only in NJ).
