I did a search on both fuel tank and gas tank removal but it didn't address my question. I loosened the two top straps on the tank and it didn't budge. Are there lower bolts I'm not seeing under the cab? The filler neck has also been removed.

Did you disconnect the gas line from the bottom of the tank?

I would say that it is just stuck. I would give it a good bang using both hands at the top.

I had to learn too. As mentioned above, don't forget to disconnect the gas line!! Then you'll have to remove the brass stopcock in order for the rigid gas pipe to pull through the hole in the floor. Should come out easily once you've done the obvious.
