These old trucks are fun to drive and I enjoy driving mine but compared to a modern car with all the new safety features introduced in the last 50 years they are a death trap, especially on the highway running 75 and 80.
Also I personally don't consider an in the cab gas tank a problem but I really don't know if I would want my 16 year old daughter driving with the tank in the cab either.
If it was me I would probably let her drive something a little safer for a couple years while working on the truck.
