On the fuel cell thing. I think you will find that will not pass tech at any drag strip with the cell inside the passenger compartment. Stock gas tank maybe but not a fuel cell as you have then moved to a different level.You would have to have a firewall between the cell and the rest of the passenger compartment to pass tech.

I bought my truck in 1980 in the so-cal desert and never had any smell of gas. It was my daily driver for 9 years. I think the key is "properly maintained". To each his own, it's your truck enjoy it. For me the thought of leaving my truck on the side of the road due to a flat tire is unbearable.
