Want to confirm the connections on the tank, the smallest is for the canister, correct?

Also, looking for options for a filler port.

And, I’ll need to remove some of the bed rails too?

Looks like I need to cut this rail that bolts to the bed boards.
It’s the only way to make it fit.

Wondering how these straps are supposed to mount. Are these intended to be bent into the correct shape for tha application?
Someone must have already installed this style tank. I didn’t find any pics. Mostly seeing pics of the camaro tank install.

I bent my straps to fit and in the area where the bolt goes thru them to the crossmember, I doubled the end back over itself and creased it down real flat in the vise so as to have some extra meat for the bolt to pass thru. They were perfectly flat though in my kit, where yours appear ro have been pre formed
