gas tank straps
I see two different after market straps for sale, one with holes on both ends (for the bolts) and the other with the front bolt pad and the rear is just folded over. do you drill the strap for the rear bolt? of course one is cheaper than the other. might just make my own.

Re: gas tank straps

Re: gas tank straps
I think the 60-62 straps are a little different than the 63-66

Re: gas tank straps
If you look at the back of the cab, about halfway up the back wall, there are brackets that the folded part of the strap slips in. The cab is a 66

Re: gas tank straps

Re: gas tank straps
That's the set I have boxed up if you need them. They came out of the 61 in my front yard

Re: gas tank straps
The same as the 61. No problem....they are just taking up space here. If you need them, cover shipping and they are yours.
