fuel tank regret *update*

I just bought my 66 c-10, it came with many upgrades: v8, auto, disc brakes, PS, etc. Nice truck, I think I got a great deal. It also came with a rear fuel tank under the bed. It was done with a kit from one of the parts suppliers, all new parts, ... I hate it.

It gets the tank out of the cab, why is this good? I never had any problems with my other trucks in cab tanks. It causes the need for a "Rube Goldberg" type filling system and a hacked bed quarter panel. The spare tire is now relegated to inside the bed rather than under the bed. In my mind it has many negatives.

So why complain about it to you guys? Well, I am thinking of putting it back to stock. I need you guys opinions about it. Am I crazy as this would be a lot of work and cost. Maybe one of you guys would want to trade tank stuff? Give me your thoughts.

signed corn-fused...
