My 1950 3100 project is coming along and I still need to decide on what to do for a gas tank. The truck came with a good behind the seat tank. Needs some cleaning but only minor rust.

I keep hearing people saying it's best to relocate for safety.

Is it really a big safety issue? I mean this was standard for decades. Back when smoking was cool lol

If I cleaned the tank and bought all new stuff, I would smell any gas vapors before start up anyway right?

If I went the in cab route..should I keep it gravity fed or get a fuel pickup sender from a 54 up?

If I relocate, what are my best options?


Looking for advice and opinions and examples..thanks.
