Do you need to move it? From reading all the posts it's more of a mental thing than a safety issue.

Here's what I deduced.

-If you feel safer with it in the back then move it.
-Do you want room for tools and speakers, move it.
-If you don't like the smell of fuel on occasion when the cap vents, move it.
-Is it a safety issue, no.
-Is money and labor of moving it an issue, leave it as is.
-Do you want the truck to be as original as possible, leave it where it is.
