gas tank straps!!!!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

warpig98 · 06-09-2009, 08:22 PM

wondering if anyone knows where you can buy the bracket that the tank straps attach to, and that actually hold the tank to the frame. its a 78, with 20 gallon tanks.

man i just looked them up in lmc, classic industries, and classic parts for ya and no luck... just the straps themselves. my best suggestion would be pick n pull. just sandblast them and paint them good as new. good luck man, Dennis

x2...I have only seen the straps for sale, not the brackets. Sounds like your local Salvage yard is your best bet.

ive been looking for years and the only place i ever find em is the pick and pull

If you don't have any local salvage yards, or just want an easy "score", you can spend the $25 to become a subscribing member of this site. At that point you can place a "wanted" ad. Till then tho, you're limited.

I sell the complete brace and strap at my place in WV. I go through alot in this area. probably the biggest seller in 73-87s.

Yo! AspecialZ! I see your site is under construction,...can you direct me to an alternate, or do you have a phone that we can order from? Perhaps going to PM might be good at this point,...I'm also wetminkey@hotmail.com

Sorry about my last. I'll be calling you.
I've spent many hours searching out junkyard replacements, and now I can direct others to a vendor! How cool.

Actually I work at Brenengen in West Salem in parts and we can still order them brand new. PM me or call the dealer afternoon and I can get you some pricing. Let me know.

Check around for people parting out trucks in your area (CL etc). I got the tank brackets for my truck as a bundle because they were attached to the tank. Didn't need the tank (wouldn't fit, 20 gal) so I sold it, minus the brackets. Bingo! Set of brackets, $20.

Ill check tomorrow when and let you know late tomorrow night.

They're still availble brand new from GM for under $40 each. It's a little pricey, but they're new parts. If anyone would like, I can get some GM part numbers for people to check they're local dealers.
