My 64 Chevy Stepside had the gas tank behind the seat. Three on the tree and dimmer switch on the floor too. Yeah it was all good tI'll you hung up the gears lol Or flipped a Marlboro out the window, and it went behind the seat. 
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Best I remember Fords starters were a push button on the dash, GMs were on the floor. I bet a lot of members here never drove a 3 on the tree, or used a manual choke . My first truck was 3 on the tree and several of my friends had never seen one

I had a '67 GMC stepside with 3 on the tree. Paid $1200 for it in 1978.

I’m actually headed to Montgomery in the morning to pick up the motor to my 68 F100 from the machine shop. Gas tank in the cab, three on the tree, manual steering, manual drum brakes, AC vents are located in the quarter windows. Want to be colder, increase speed. That's known as a 2/60 AC. And it's one thing I do not miss.

Yeah it was all good tI'll you hung up the gears lol My 66 custom would hang in neutral, inevitably at a traffic light. I had a 73’ Olds Cutlass with 3 on the tree as my first car. I had to keep an old towel in the back floorboard so I could open the hood and reach down to fiddle with the levers to unstick it. I forgot all about that till y’all posted it

I remember every thing mentioned here, I must be old.
Gas was 23 cents
Cokes were 5 cents
We were on a party line of 10
$1 a day pay and glad to get it
If you remember gas being 23 cents/gallon, then yep....you're pretty old.  Near as I can tell, that was in the mid 40's or so.
