Re: Gas tank relocate, frame strip questions

R&B51 don't over think this.

These old trucks with no seat belts, rattles, loud road noise "no crumple zones" are what they are... old nostalgic/time capsules. Enjoy them for what they are and not what they aren't.

Don't ruin it for your boy and your family by worrying about gas tank explosions killing. My boys (in their 20's) are going to learn to drive the foot start/manual choke/throttle/manual clutch/manual drum brakes/manual steering (huge wheel) and a multitude of other "inconveniences" that I hope with carry the heritage of these old trucks into future generations.
