I have googled it. None of the cabs I have had had the tank inside. I want to get a new tank, but does it mount directly to the cab or are there straps I need to get?

 

Yes two straps about the third rib in from each end. bottom of each strap attaches to the floor and tops attach to the horizontal brace just below the window.
Clear as mud? I can't find a picture for you.

Good luck in your quest!

 

Thanks. I see a pair on eBay to get. Now I need a filler neck. Anyone have an extra?

 

Here is a pic installing my new tank.

 

Right: Two different fuel filler tubes (9034). Fuel tank straps (B7C-9092-A) not shown in pic.

 

Dunno if I they are there or not, can't see in the pic but there should be either heavy rubber blocks or heavy canvas straps between the tank and the metal straps.
I've seen em' both ways from the factory. I guess they are put there to prevent metal straps from eventually rubbing thru & or sound issues.

Also,

I believe there are two insulator strips used between the tank and the back wall of the cab, for noise suppression and for wear. I don't have my tank out, so I can't see them, but I think these, and probably the strips under those metal retaining straps, might be of a felt like material. It's been a while since I have seen that part of my truck, sorry. Someone will be along soon to verify or dispell my info.

Aloha. Tony

 

That's right too.... forgot about those fibrous square pads on the back wall of the cab
