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.
Oh...I don't know if these trucks are a death trap. Not with a 3 point belt system installed that is...

With some power disc's up front and fresh stock suspension w/roll bars, these old trucks can handle pretty good too which allows a driver to avoid trouble!

Tank doen't need to be in the cab...agreed!
