Great info... Does anyone know what the bolts are called that hold these dealer installed tanks to the bed? Mine have the bolts through the middle of the tank with nuts welded to the flat end that threads into the long "carriage" bolt type that goes through the bed (not sure what else to call them besides carriage bolts). 3 of the 4 nuts broke off when I tried to take them off, they were just spot welded in 2 places, so need to try to weld them back on and break them loose, but would love to replace them with new bolts and can't figure out what they are called or who might sell them.
