Why?

Most 'newer' vans don't have a 'chassis' in the old conventional sense, they tend to be a unibody design which means the floor & body work are basically the 'chassis'
Just use spreader plates for all your bolt points

Personally I'd get a reputable company who specialise in tank fitting to a) weld the cage and b) fit the tank properly. That's a pretty big tank with a high centre of gravity and you'll also be responsible for a co-worker. Also check the weight limit of your van, two lardy workers and a large tank might push it over the limit.
