Rather than leave it alone, I've decided to update the March 1st 2014 post. The photo of just this old rusty as found tank support was too short and not helpful. The old 3/1 post photo.
While we purchased new propane tanks from Vintage Trailer Supply, or original propane tank support bracket survives and got some attention.
This is the original rod, and also the crank handle for the trailer jack.

Love seeing photos that Colin sends. And it is a great to see the 55 FC written on all our parts. Colin has organization as well as knowledge and creativity to solve problems. Yeah!

With the rust rod removed and the bent base straightened, then it was cleaned up - sand blasted.

I wonder if Colin is still using the sand blasting cabinet that he bought in "Mary Tyler Moore" Minnesota VAP Episode 26 on a hot humid summer day...
A steel reinforcement was welded to the base of the propane tank mount before the rod was installed.
