New truck owner of a 46 barn find. I took out the tank to clean it, and am putting it back. Somewhere I read that the tank sat on some thin strips of wood. Any truth to that? Thanks, in advance.

I believe the strips would have been made of dense cloth like material, certainly not wood. I think some of the vendors (Jim Carter's or Filling Station) would have have them or you could use roofing felt (30#).
