In ways I agree. unless you have a reason that you want to move it... If your happy with it behind the seat, and don't want to add something else there then it's fine. If you want more weight in the back of your truck moving the gas tank back helps with traction...

The 1970 Mustang tank is 22 gallons & fits nicely between the
back rails. The positives are you get that old stinky tank out of the
cab & you free up the space behind the seat for storage or more legroom.
The negatives are the fill spout will be in the middle of your bed & you lose the space for your spare tire under the bed. Good luck - It's a very good
first project for your truck.

I just purchased a 69 mustang tank, found one for $75 shipped on craiglist. Its the 16 Gal tank. Plan on using the "INSTALLING A MID-60's Mustang Tank in a '53 F-100" artice for the installation. Thanks for the great info!
