I got it out of a local junk yard and had it steamed and sealed. It was pretty easy to mount the way I did it. Instead of using the straps, I drilled 3/8" holes in the flanges on the side of the tank. I then bolted it to the frame using the existing frame holes and sway bar link bolts with the rubber bushings to allow for the frame to flex without stressing the seam on the tank itself.
