Also the paint code for the interior brown please. Thanks

Jim Carter's item #MEG149
Don't know the paint code, but it's somewhere here on the site. Or someone knows.

It fit my original straps perfectly. I recommend it. Start with a nice new tank to eliminate the worries of Debri in your fuel system.
As far as the gas tank straps you will have to find a set used, I have not seen them reproduction. Posting an parts wanted ad here and or a EBay search should yield results.
The interior paint code is a tough one because most paint systems change code numbers and before you know the code I give here that worked on my suburban three years might now come up purple in some other paint system. Shoot me a PM and I can try to help you with it, but look at my photo album first and see if you like my interior color.
