Mike, I had the same problem whenever I put gas in my '55 1st. Fumes were very
bad, and I would get a headache from them fast too! I finally found out that it
was the filler hose and the vent tube hose. They were both dry rotted, and when
gas would go through the filler hose it would get saturated and start dripping
on the floor! It is an easy fix! Just order the filler & vent hose from one of
the venders, and replace them. It's cheap and it will make your truck a whole
lot safer too!
