Been trying to figure out how to remove the gas tank from my 1977 Dodge M880 5/4. Its got the straps that hold it in. The straps are bolted into the frame. My problem is I can't figure out how to get to the nut side to keep them from turning. The nut is either inside the frame or behind the gas tank. Either way I can't get to them. Anyone know how to get this tank out?
 
Maybe cut the straps off and then make new mounting holes. Or cut off the bolt heads. Maybe there is an access panel from the bed or maybe climb underneath again and look for a way in. Good luck!
 
no don't cut it. if you look at the where the strap bolts onto the frame on the passenger side of the tank you cant take the nuts off of the top.
