The Wicked Mistress strikes again. Found out the aux tank would not go horizontal because I had slid the rear flange between the chassis and the body. In trying to get it free one of the rear tank hanger bolts snapped. Turns out, this was not the first time: http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/data/6405/photo_2_2_.JPG

Anyone source these locally before? I'm about to hit the hardware store to see what would be close. Can one be made with enough heat and a vice?

I'd give bonus points for knowing the lyrics above, which would stump my twenty-something co-workers, but its probably too easy for you guys...
