    Mine had lots of dirt and a Miller bottlecap. Everything else seems to have escaped through the big rust hole under it.

    There is/ was actually a fair amount of wood in these tubs. Hat channels and spare tire reinforcements were full of oak..

    One strip on the top strap, and three on the bottom of the tank.
    On the bottom of the tank, there is one at each end and one next to the gas outlet.
