Ag, yer welcome to disagree, but as you quoted, I said
being the cause of a fire, not that there's never been a wreck that ended in fire, and we ain't talkin blue ovals here
did 70's Fords have the tank in the cab?
roll any vehicle and there's a very good chance of fire, due to the fuel in the carb and the hot engine, never mind the battery flyin around, and it's not because of where the tank is
sure, if yer gonna be runnin on congested freeways a lot, where a good percentage of the accidents involve multi car sandwiches and
rear enders, then right under the back of the truck is the place for the tank - good for cushioning the impact of them rice rockets that get thru the wimpy back bumpers these ol trucks have
addressing safety concerns for freeway driving, especially w/ a "modern" engine, starts w/ seatbelts, brakes, steering and defensive driving - location of the gas tank is waaay down the list
