You haven't looked back far enough. Fords, and I'm sure most other manufacturers from about 1932 til around 1948 all had flange mounted tanks. They were notably smaller though so that may be a factor to consider.

Personally I would put straps on a tank in a truck just for the fact that if you put the flange on top of the frame, you wouldn't be able to drop the tank if need be.
