You'd just take out four bolts/nuts and the two angle iron tank supports would drop out after bellypan removal. just a heads up  \

Rick,
My A/S (1970) has the bolted in supports that you mentioned. However, if the old supports had not rusted completely away the bolts were so rusted that it would have been imposible to remove them. Do you have any ideas on how to prevent this the next time? Should I use SS bolts? I am having to build a new tank box like Brian did and want to make the whole setup right.
