Two atmospheres are better than one
Had a few hours today to work on the D. Finished stripping the last few painted black items I wanted back to chrome, pulled the seat and took it to my interior guy for the scotch tartan treatment (you’ll see what I mean later), found the original jack, handle, and wrench under the seat, that was cool. Started treating the rust in the floor boards to get an idea how much I need to cut out. Sadly the replacement floor pans that I got with the truck are junk and I won’t use them. I might cut them up and use the flat portions as patches but if I need a whole pan I’m buying new. Pics from today.

Looking good. I would put a gas tank underneath like the later ones. I seen too many of them in the cab leak gas inside clear up to the front floor
I'd do both. Tank in cab and underneath
You can get the tank coated, to prevent leaking.
Yeah I had that leak happen to my old 78 d300. I sent it in and had it repaired and coated. No more problems

I have the stock tank from my 63 falcon (same as mustang) and it’s in wonderful shape, and the sender works with the mopar gauge. I’ve already investigated what the “go to” frame mounted tank is and the mustang is one of the options. Mine doesn’t leak at all, it’s got all new lines and clamps and a new sending unit and there are zero gas smells inside. I think that’s short lived though as they all do those things eventually.
