I did see one in an Ohio Highway Patrol safety film, Signal 30 (OHP code for traffic accident w/ fatalities). The truck was a late'40s/early '50s Dodge. However, it was the train that hit it that caused the fatality, not the rupered gas tank.
BTW, the '04-'06 GTO and its G8 succesor had the gas tank behind the rear seat, where the rear bulkhead would be on most other cars. From what I nderstand, the Holden Monaro/Commodore thay were based on have been built that way (and still are) for many years.
