Yes, my 83 and your 84 look very similar. Besides diffent seats, my rod boxs are slanted / / forward. Your looks stright [ ] up and down. I took the floor panel over the fuel tank off this weekend, as it was soft. . Apparently, water had leaked in through access pannels on the floor. The water, however, remained trapped betweeen in the wood between floor and fiberglass. The tank and surrounding foam were both dry! The wood between the fiberglass and floor was soaking wet. I made a small tear in the fiberglass and set the panel up on end. Water has been drippping out ever since. Obviously I'll have to redo that section of the floor, but nothing else too major, other than the antifouling paint on the bottom. (I have a seprate post on that). Of interest, when I removed the tank cover, I discovered that there were 2 wooden supports running across the top of the tank. Not sure if that is original or not, as I had seen pics in an earlier post, here there were no cross braces over the gas tank. Do you know if your had the same set up? (I recall that your tank had been previously replaced). Not sure if my tank need replacing, but am curious if it is original? Not sure how to tell?
