I was confused for awhile....

The ford manual shows a T shaped strap that goes around the back part of the fuel tank and then bolts to a crossmember.

The ones every single store and website show for my truck doesn't have the T shape.

This is supposively the ford manual.

Whatever, it went on. Removed the bed, driveshaft and took front strap off to get the rear one on.

What a drag...Now I can't get the bolt to go through...not enough might in me...I'll go buy a longer bolt tomorrow and cut off the added half inch after its installed..,. then i fix the rusted and broken spring mount, (which i didn't know about.)

For some reason ford stopped using the T-shaped ones at the end of 1994.

they would still fit your truck, but...
