Gas tank mounting holes - '40 Ford

[Topsterguy]

I'm doing a '40 Ford pickup using an aftermarket chassis, but there's no joles where the gas tank mounts. Anyone know the measurements ( from box holes or whatever) or how to locate these holes? Thanks!

I have an orginal "40 ford pickup chassis with the fuel tank installed. The hole on the right side (pass side) is 8 1/4" forward of the rear end of the frame. The rear hole one the left (driver side) is 4 1/4" from the frame end and the forward hole is 11 1/2" forward of the frame end.

Hey Old Frod, thanks, but would it be possible to get those measurements from the center of the last body mount hole, the one that's just behind the frame kick up before the tank? The reason being that mines an after market frame and the end of it could be diferent from stock ones  - maybe not but possible!  Thanks!
