According to the FAM Sect 8 sheet 1.06 they only show anti squeak on the lower section of the mounting strap assy. My after market strap has run out of room, so I would like to glue some anti squeak all the way around the tank. Surely do need it bouncing around behind Beth and I. Take a look at the attached photos. Advice Please
When I took my original tank out, it had what was basically 30lb felt in the cradles and a couple strips of it where the straps contacted the tank.
I got some ~1/8" thick peel and stick roof underlayment that I had laying around and stuck it on the tank wherever the straps contacted the tank as well as on the two cradles. Works very well.
Even without that stuff I don't think the tank will move around.

Apply Dynomat to the entire tank. That will take up any slack in the straps AND it will significantly dampen the sound of a partial tank of fuel sloshing around. That what I did on my ‘54.

Man! Your truck must be super quiet! With the wind noise, valve clatter, fan whine, rattling door windows, and assorted other sounds that Ol' Roy makes, I never knew you could hear fuel sloshing around! Is that really a thing? Hahaha!

I would just double or triple the thickness of the pads under the tank. As far as not hearing the sloshing in the tank, how can y'all tell when you're about to run out of gas? lol

I installed a modest Pioneer radio/stereo in my ‘54. I have been working towards being able to hear it.
