'48-'52 Fuel tank pad location

Where do the rubber pads or blocks go under the fuel tank? I has been several years since I removed mine and I don't remember.
Thanks!

This is the only pic I've ever seen showing the pad(s). It's not very specific.

I found nothing in the Parts Catalog or the Shop Manual.

Though I found them hard to find listed, there are 4 round rubber snubbers on the bottom-side brackets where the tank wedges into the floor. They may be hood bumpers?

Thanks Joe, I looked at my tank after looking at your post. There is a groove pressed into the bottom of the tank about where the diagram shows the pads so, I am assuming they fit there. Thanks again!
eman92082, I think I ordered the bumpers from Dennis Carpenter.

On my F-6 (COE) there were four rectangular rubber pads that fit in the notch of the cab floor and supported the tank bottom, and four more that were glued to the back of the tank where it was touching the rear of the cab. Then there was the foam oval for the fuel line pass-through.

Resurrecting this thread. Did the pads and tank outlet to floor seal get glued down? If so what’d you use

Mine didn't seem to be glued in place. If you intend to glued yours, 3M black weatherstrip adhesive would be my suggestion.
