Re: advice on speakers?

When you say a Kicker brain under the dash, are you referring to an amp or some kind of processor? What is currently powering your 6" speakers? What kind of speakers are loaded in those kick panels? My guess would be that those all-in-one kick panel/speaker combos leave a lot to be desired since most use a generic coaxial speaker.

I'm not familiar with the cab of a '68 but it definitely sounds like your space is limited with the tank behind the seat. If you are looking to add a subwoofer under the seat, your only real options are shallow mount subwoofers and even those will be a tight fit. There are many on the market now depending on your budget.

Another option, depending on how much space you have behind your dash, you can build a custom enclosure that will tuck behind and/or under your dash using some 6.5" subwoofers. Take a look at some Tang Band 6.5" subwoofers that are very reasonably priced and will definitely "round out the sound" in your truck.
