David ,
The C8 petrol tanks sit on metal cross supports , about 1" wide and 1/4" thick , the supports are shaped to fit the bottom of the tank . 4 of them are used , they fit across the two long supports that bolt to the chassis , just behind the cab .
I have drawings of it all .
The Ford F8 has the wooden piece under the tank , not the Chev C8 . Its a different setup on the Ford .
Thanks for the pic of the bow setup . Could you please take a some more pics of the detail ? I have been looking for this info for about ten years . Mail them to me at :

The Andre Gibeault C8, I have many pics of . it has a repro 1A2 body on it .
