Default 04 Ram 1500 Fuel Tank Straps

I have a 04 Ram Dodge 1500 extended cab, short bed with a 26 gallon gas tank. One of the fuel tank straps broke & I'm looking to replace it. I'm having no luck finding a strap for the 26 gallon tank. During my search, I'm getting conflicting info from sellers. Some are telling me that the straps that they are selling will work on the 26 gallon & 35 gallon tanks since they are the same, others are telling me no, they are not the same, that the ones for the 35 gallon tanks won't work on the 26 gallon tanks.

There is some part number silliness, but, so far as I can tell, I *think* the straps are the same...... You should be able to find them at your local parts store. At least that way, if they ain't right, you don't have to pay return shipping....

I checked with the local parts stores (advance & autozone) none have it in stock, would have to order. I got the part #s so I can order it off Amazon & save a bunch of $

Btw, the info that I got from the local part stores is that these straps will fit 26 & 35 gallon tanks.

If I'm reading that diagram Magnoom posted, looks like the front strap is always the same and the rear strap is different based on the frame (1500s are different than the rest) and if its a quad cab.

UPDATE

I purchased a Spectrum ST305 Fuel Tank Strap set from a vendor on Amazon & saved almost 50% compared to what the locals were selling it for.

It took me about 20 minutes to install the rear strap & the truck is back on the road.
