Welcome to the GMC V-6 forum. You guys out in California have no idea what most of Us in the other 49 states put up with. I bet my 3-1/2 year old Ram 1500 has more rust than your 61 year old truck!
Yes, trucks had fuel tanks behind the seat back then. If your getting gas fumes in the cab you have a potential leak. Relocating the tank is very possible but not without risk. Side or rear impacts could rupture the tank with deadly results. Somewhere between the back of cab and rear axle and between the frame rails is preferred, and under the bed floor. Tank filler could be behind a small door, or extended to a rear wheelwell, and I see lots of fillers in bed floors on TV shows now days.
