. . . There was a time when all our Chev trucks had the gas tanks part of the cab. After a while it was decided that it wasn't a good idea for people to be leaning back against the gas tank as they went down the road. And it was a GAS tank-there were no diesel pickups then . . .
Used to drive a 70 Chevy C10 back-in-the-day. I vividly remember hearing that fuel sloshing around in that gas tank mounted just behind the seat as I braked and drove around corners. Even then, before safety and seat belts were a common mind-set, we always thought that's got to be the most stupid, dangerous place to put a gas tank. What were those GM engineers thinking--lol!
