Fuel tank straps

[Jaredkeller96]

So in my obs rclb I have a front 20gallon polly/plastic tank. And no one makes straps for these darn things. Any ideas? Should I redneck it and get some heavy duty galvanized straps from Home Depot? Lol

I have a ton of various makes/models of stock left over straps from Titan installs. Got any pics of the stock strap? I'll look and see if I have anything close it it that may work.

I'm in the same boat. Ford, internet, nothing. Mine isn't terrible but would like new or better.

Ours have a little stud on the strap if that narrows it down any.

Don't think I have any with a stud. Most have a bolt hole on both ends or a bolt hole on one end and a T Hook on the other.

Mine are bolt hole both ends. May fab something up. Or get some real heavy duty galvanized steel straps from Home Depot. Then I have this thick rubber I could put under them so it won't cut a hole in the tank.

I have made some rubber tank pads before, worked out great. I used a 3 x 4 foot rubber door mat I got from Tractor Supply Co. It was about 1/4" thick IIRC, I just cut it to size.

Actually a bolt stud that is in the middle of the strap that holds a mud shield against the tank.

We got it in there better than it use to be. Thank god for rednecks. For the back side strap just found one off a rear tank drilled the hole found a bolt wallla. Didn't put the shield on as I'm not gonna do any wheeling. But I did get the skid plate on.

I made some new straps for my trail truck out of some thin flat bar stock. I just cut a slot where the bolt needed to go through, heated and bent it around the bolt and welded the folded part together. Worked really well and the new steel was only a few dollars.
