I don't have any pictures but the straps run left to right. You will have to straiten the bend out that is put in them from your supplier. They are only bent like that to ship. Then place them under the tank with the tank centered on the straps and bend them upward. You will have to drill your frame for the "J" bolts to mount the tank. Then you will notch the bed cross sill 1 1/2" between the frame rails. WES
