Re: How many still have stock tank in place?
# 29 here, but I am cheating since my panel is under the bed from the factory LOL
But when I had a pickup it was in the cab and my next one will be there as well.

Re: How many still have stock tank in place?
Stock in my 64. I have to fill it up twice as much, but it makes me feel better that it only takes about $30 to fill up.

Never heard of one exploding myself either, but if you're not used to fuel tanks inside the drivers compartment I guess it would seem scary to a person. |

Re: How many still have stock tank in place?
37 or something around there I guess? No plans on moving it, trucks still here today and was never lit up so why would I think it would now?

Ive never heard of it happening but i can tell you i came close to being a crispy critter in my old 65 so dont rule fire balls out! they had to use the jaws of life to get me out of the truck since i was pinned in by my foot between the trans hump and bottom of the dash....the tank ruptured and i was covered in gas from head to toe,and very lucky nothing sparked in the crash , they cut my cloths off of me in the ambulance since i was saturated in fuel......I plan on relocating the tank under the bed on my 66 but havent yet, i like it behind the seat but think that it is safer out of the cab, in this picture at the tow yard you can see cat litter soaking up the rest of the fuel: more pictures here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=473562

Well first thank god you are alive, Your second photo shows what GM knew, for the tank to be completely compromised you would have to take a huge hit, as you did, and even with that amount of damage the tank looks intact. Was the tank ripped or did the fuel come from the filler tube when everything else was shifted?
