The crossover pipe is secured to the body?

I didn't see that on my '81 but then maybe someone removed it? Is this
screw & hook something specific to certain models or model years?

Don: if you have the larger OD fill pipe, make and alignment marks if
possible, of how it all goes together. The hole in frame is not much
bigger than the pipe. If misaligned, the big seal between fill pipe
and tank can fail. BTDT:
