Ok i got the fuel lines on the tank all the wireing and the vent hooked up, drill the hole for the bolt, hang the straps stick the tank under, jack it to the floor, pull over the straps, AND THEY DON"T REACH!!! Upon further inspection the straps say for a ford thunderbird, is this my problem? If i take the plastic shield off, the straps fit but VERY tightly. I need input, cause i want this sucker in TODAY!

O.K.,I commented before I saw the pics,they hadn't loaded yet.That looks right,you just need a longer strap it appears.I can check at the boneyard next saturday unless you can find some locally.

Nevermind then.Can the tank be slightly moved a little?Can you pull the strap a little more?It looks like there's some slack in there.

i think something is off i mean it just doesn't seem right..... im fitly covered in rust chips and getting frustrated so now im cooling off before i go outside take it all down and go threw it again to make sure its right. If only i knew what right was.
The straps don't fit to the tank or the cover remember in those pics theres no plastic shield, so without the shield its no good anyway. i think i might have to shift the tank over one notch im not sure. Im waiting on input from LoL.

Yup, I swapped a '86 LSC tank into a '87 TC, same stuff... Well I did have to swap the gage sender...

Guessing maybe you have straps for a earlier Tbird with the 18 gal tank...

I should still have a set of perfect strap's from a '87 Sport, I can measure them if you'd like...

I had someone measure the straps on his mark they are the same size so im pulling it all back down and taking it slow to make sure i didn't mess anything up. Hopefully it will be in when i get back!
