If you're in an accident that is bad enough to rupture that fuel tank, I have a feeling by that time you aren't going to need to worry about burning to death.

The only worries I've ever had about the tank is getting side swiped or flipping it onto the left side and shearing the neck while sliding to a stop.

Is that a gas tank behind the seat? I've been dropping my smokes in there...I thought it was a big ashtray with a cap.

You know you own a bump when the cupholder is sitting beside you, wearing a mini. :woohoo:

you know you own one when...

- you can't fathom all the tech goodies modern trucks have.
- your Am/Fm only stereo costs as much as a 2500watt dual sub quad speaker high end modern job.
- You are on a first name basis with owners of boneyards in a 500 mile radius
- You are on a first name basis with owners of boneyards in a 5 state radius.
- you understand how to use a bumper jack and were excited to find a really nice one at the boneyard.
- The bench seats at the boneyards have your rear ends imprint in them, because you cant make up your mind which one you want and have to test them out.
- you have a map marked with all the locations of bumps and dents for a 500 mile radius, just incase you drive by them again.
- you realized one day you had enough parts donors in your back yard to assemble another truck to go get more parts in. and did it.
- you now collect parts for the parts truck.
- your parts truck is still a better truck than that new thing down the street.
