    My '64 only has one strap. bolted to the floor then over the tank and bolted to the floor of the bed behind the seat. Simple really, I put a cotton web belt (old Coast Guard issue) under the strap for chaffing. No pictures handy, if I can come up with something I'll post.

    Yup, only one piece, at least on the two '67's and the '63 in our family.

    mine only had one also 1955 m38a1, is it possible that the strap set you have is for the under the rear tank used in 1970?
