Bob,

On my 65 4/4 the ribbs ran left to right, and the rubber was
under the tool box lip.  And yes this did pose a serious

Again on my 4/4 the fuel line ran along the sill plate then
up
the fenderwell to the horizontal wood braces for the trunk

If you are talking behind the dash, yes.  I have a tube -
maybe 1" dia. that goes across (left to right) and is bolted
to
the firewall and wood framing.
