What every farm needs!! Most Handy Portable Truck Beed Fuel Tank/Tool Box!

What happens here

To prevent the tank from sliding around in the truck bed, it needs to be securely bolted down. The kit includes a bolting system comprising a washer, a spring, another washer, and a nylon locking nut. The presenter's helper will hold the nut from underneath the truck while he drills pilot holes through the tank's mounting brackets and into the truck bed floor. He then inserts the bolt assembly (washer, spring, washer) through the drilled holes and tightens them from underneath with the nylon locking nuts and a wrench. This process is repeated for the remaining two mounting points, with the front bolt installed first to anchor the tank.

Goal: Fasten the fuel tank to the truck bed to prevent movement
