I had an '87 Chevy truck with "saddle" tanks and never had a problem I still see quite a few of that model/design still on the road. As far as moving the in cab tank, I moved mine because I got tired of smelling gas and I didn't like the thought of it sitting out in a Texas summer with new door seals. I did replace EVERYTHING on it and it still smelled like gas everytime I opened the door. Now that it's moved the smell's gone AND I have added space behind the seat! As far as afety goes... If I ever get hit in the rear and they make it passed the BIG 'OL 1/4" steel bumper....
