The tank and straps can go on either side of the truck. I'm not sure that is everything you are asking, but that is what i got.

So the frame brackets are the same also?The straps are rotted off and will be replaced.

Notice in the attached link, the only components that are right and left are the sending units.

The frame brackets will switch from side to side. Visually they are the same. The only difference is the rear bracket has one of the welded nuts in a different position from left to right. This isn't an issue as you can just nut it yourself if need be or if you have a welder just tack the nut on in the needed position.
