gas tank straps!!!!!!!
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.

Re: gas tank straps!!!!!!!
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

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

Re: gas tank straps!!!!!!!
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.

Re: gas tank straps!!!!!!!
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
Todd.

Re: gas tank straps!!!!!!!
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. Todd.

Re: gas tank straps!!!!!!!
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.

Re: gas tank straps!!!!!!!
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.

Re: gas tank straps!!!!!!!
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.
