Detailed Description

This Dorman fuel tank strap is built for 1955-1956 Ford Thunderbird applications and follows the original strap layout for the vehicle. It is recommended whenever the fuel tank is replaced or serviced, since a worn strap can affect how securely the tank is held in place. The steel construction is intended to withstand road exposure and weather conditions, while the direct replacement design supports a straightforward service job on the Ford Thunderbird fuel system.

This part cross-references ST105 for the same application. Use 578-105 when replacing a damaged or corroded strap on a 1955 Ford Thunderbird or 1956 Ford Thunderbird.
