Need Pics of Fuel Tank Skid Mounting

I supposedly have the correct parts to add the elusive fuel tank skid plate.
The shield itself looks right with a rear bracket that goes to frame near the parking brake cable guide on the outside and possibly the fuel tank strap on the inside.
The crossmember,though,I cant see any obvious way it goes together with the shield or frame.
I double checked the part numbers of everything through a couple of dealers and the crossmember # seems to be correct.

Does anyone have pics of the way its mounted at the front end???

I've installed our traction bars on a fuel tank skid plate 2nd gen, but that's the only one I've seen... they seem to be rare as hen's teeth!

I found a great photo of the underside of the truck - but it's post-installation (customer wanted to remove skid plate and install traction bar mounts in their place).

Thanks for looking.
After spending an hour trying to figure out how this crossmember fits, i'm convinced that the part they gave me has the wrong part # on it from the warehouse. It was not in a box, and only had the correct part number on the pick/ship label.
On the back, it had a small sticker that has a different part #

Yes, I believe it is the same part.
Got intel today that it may use the same part # for the front of the fuel skid that the t-case shield uses in the rear.(what a concept)

I will start futzin with it tomorrow and if it works, I'll do a little write up on it for anyone interested.

Skid plate

I've installed one on my 2007 5.9. If your frame is like mine you will have to drill holes.
