I need to do some repairs inside the cab on the floor and cab corner area. What is everyones thought on welding near the gas tank inside the cab? Some people say to remove the gas tank, others say don't worry about it. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Err on the side of caution unless you think otherwise.

If you do leave the tank in place, do not perform any hot work inside the garage or possible problems can be compounded.

Agree. Better to be safe than sorry. It's easy enough to get that tank out of the way. Then as your welding, that thought won't be hanging in the back of your head and you can just concentrate on doing good welds.

So what are you thoughts about the gas tank pushing out through the front window?
