So as stated in my earlier thread I will not be doing this restoration myself sadly. I will also like to say my dad and brother are the mechanically inclined ones along with my brothers friends, I know just minimal knowledge. That is before I started looking up all the information I can about my truck and how to improve upon it, thanks to this site and the internet :tu
My question and thought is, it will be a complete rebuild from the frame up. I have almost worked out all the details of how I want to change the rear end (probably ask questions since this is a completely unbiased group on what you all think later of my changes). My question here specifically is what is your thoughts on removing the rear gas tank. Saves weight, it currently doesn't work (obviously not a big deal for a complete rebuild) and it should improve handling.
My Dad is the sheet metal worker and body guy/painter, he will just take out the tank door and make it look as if it never was there, so the bed will look great.
