That is Purrrrrrrrfect! Thanks so much.
Looks like I need the thin metal straps. I'll hit the vendors. Are these the same as CCKW straps?

Thanks again.

TO THE MOTOR POOL!

Hey there Mister, I went over to my buddies house today to do some welding for his G-506. He HAS the fuel tank support system and straps. The parts were buried and by the time we finished it was time for supper. I WILL be picking it up along with more parts from him that I worked for. I will take some photos for you of what you need and post them up to this thread. Hang in there SIGNSUP, I'm gonna get you squared away. Dave.

Found this in the bed of the truck as well. Think it is one of the brackets I need.

Got a lead on the straps and brackets and just saw the post of the complete set up in OR for $175. Got a tank in the shop, so I'm getting close.

Hmm, do you have an idea where that goes? Drivers side behind the spare tire carrier is the only place I can think of??

This mount fits inside the driver side frame rail and is riveted together with the spare tire carrier. The narrow end attaches to the "L" angle on the hinge side of the fuel tank mount system and provides a three point mounting for the fuel tank. They are very hard to find after they have been removed from the truck.
