Good luck!
I get a pretty stong gas smell in my cab. Even with the top off I smell like gas after driving around for a while. I had a few exhust leaks which I fixed hoping that was the problem but the smell is still there.

I did not do the build on my 72 40, so I am not sure if the tank is aftermarket or not. Tank in under the passanger seat. The vent hose has been plugged with a bolt and just lays next to the tank. What is the proper way to route the vent hose? I was hoping to use the plugged vent hose as the return lin to the tank if/when I do EFI conversion. (This is a chevy 350 converted 40)
