Thanks K10 for the good logic. You make very good points. I've never heard about a tank inside the cab or outside the cab blowing up, except for the rigged thing they did on Dateline a few years back.
"bomb" was a little harsh. Sorry about that. I had just never heard of a vehicle with that configuration.
Yes, this truck is for my enjoyment, not to carry my daughter anywhere. Still, I want to be as safe as possible, and if a $500 or $1,000 expense can move the tank to a safer place (if the rear is safer), then it's worth it. Same logic applies to giving the truck power disk brakes and shoulder harness seat belts. There's got to be a balance between fun, coolness, expense, and safety.
So the question then is whether the tank is safer inside or outside the cab.
I do like the idea of having some extra room behind the seat.
And I am still curious how hard it is to do the conversion. Anybody tried this?
Thanks.
Steve.
