Just had a look at my trucks
Learn something new every day On the Chevs they have a mixture of bracing on top and below with the larger spacing on the C15A and sigvan and a 2 inch spacing and below brace on the C60L, I am assuming it is to allow for spare tyre removal without wiping out the filler The Ford tanks I have all seem to have 6 inch spacing with below brace SO no idea ![]() Probably a model difference thing

Sam helped me put the last fuel tank bracket on today.
I sat the tank on to test fit and discovered that the strap marks on the tank are further apart than my brackets. I also noticed the front bracket was bent back so Sam used a crowbar to bend it back into place.

I had Sam do some sanding today when the vibrations got too much for me.
The previous painting wasn't to neat I'll have to try harder at being messy to match it. Can anyone tell me why BN is stamped into the support stay?

Hi Keith do you know where this tank came from originally given the wider bracket spacing and the fuel pipe heading straight toeards the chassis?

No, sorry Robert I don't haven an answer for that one... I thought it may have been Dodge T110 but although similar it seems to have a wider filler.

The angles are cut and painted, my hand isn't as steady as it used to be so it is a bit rough.
I had a bit of good luck today while looking for bolts to mount the angles I found two pins to mount the petrol tank straps to the top of the bracket. ![]()
