Gas Tank Install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know this has been addressed before but I'm hoping for some definative info on how to bolt up the OEM style repop gas tanks. I'm working on my 72 K5 and cannot get this tank figured out. Should the bolts go through the straps and the flange on the tank? Should the flange on the tank be secured to the frame or hanging in the straps? BTW did I say that the repop gas tanks and straps for these things are terrible? Thanks for the help and pics would be very helpful.
