Does anyone have any pics of their fuel tank in the car fromthe bottom so I can see how the straps go on. I cant remember how they were. Old age setting in! I looked at the AIM but the pic is very vague! My 74 is not here at the house for me to check out so I am hoping for a pic. If no one has pics I guess I am heading to my parents tomorrow to check out what I cant rememember!
Thanks
Rodney

Thats good Adam, i forgot about the cross member I took off.Now I should be able to put it back on. Of course thats after I paint the crossmember and it dries. Guess its a today paint tomorrow install. Sure looks easier with the body off. Guess I'm a little past that option!
Thanks Again
Rodney

Robert,
Thanks. Once I saw Joels pic I remembered the crossmember that the tank is supported by. I had put the crossmember with my things to paint. Old age brings mind loss! I had the AIM but it just didnt make any sense. A real pic really helps. Anyway I put it in this afternoon and replaced every hose while I was there. Started it up and didnt see any leaks. Glad thats behind me and time to move on to  the rear panel and then rear bumpers. Who knows maybe thats tomorrow. Thanks for the post.
Rodney
