Hi ...A couple questions I have are is it easy to move the gas tank out of the cab and put it somewhere else??

ANS: Use a 67-70 Blazer gas tank. Most Classic Chevy Truck store sells them for about $200. They mount between the frame rails above your rear end.

the stock front suspension is it worth rebuilding and using or is it rough riding no matter what?

Ans: If you're not wanting to modify the front end at this time, then you can get by rebuilding your existing front end. Then later when you have the money, you can either opt for the MII or Camaro....your call.

and lastly... the truck sits high in the back and low in the front... upon looking at the rear suspension I have noticed there are NO shocks just leafs sitting ontop of the rearend. I want it lower in the back. Should I put the leafs on the bottom of the axle and put some shocks back on to start or ???

ANS: You need shocks back there. You can reverse the spring set up as you discribed by placing the axle above the springs which will lower the back end of the truck.

I am not wanting to spend a TON of money on the truck at this time which is why I am asking about the front end and not just throwing a MII in it....

ANS: What I've suggested will get you by at a minimal cost.
Good luck
