Kevin, I'm in the process of doing this on my truck and am just waiting for a sending unit and can finish the install. However, I didn't use the straps that came with mine. Instead, I made some rubber spacers that are used in exhaust hanging (any rubber will do) and drilled slightly bigger holes where the straps go through on the tank and just bolted it up to the frame. The rubber spacer prevents steel on steel contact. I'm not exactly sure if this way is kosher (I'm sure the straps served a purpose, but that's how I have it for now until I hear otherwise).
