I have a '90 extended cab and I want to put 63's on it. There's a hump on my frame right behind my cab, which is also where I need to move my front hangar to. Any ideas?
 
drill and drill bits come to mind.

grinder....tape measure....
 
and some more bolts.
 
I know how to move it. It's just the location I have to move it too isn't flat. There is a hump in the frame. Pics would probably help get my point across...
 
Yes, pics. I don't remember a bump/hump in my way.

I think hes talking where the frame starts to Z down. Check the Tech I know its in there with pics on what someone did.
 
I'll look. I saw and read up on the regular cab white one.

I held the new bracket up where I wanted it and shot some blue paint over it to mark out where I will need cut the cab mount.

I tried to make my cut look clean so I took off a little more than I needed to.

I welded a peice of metal between the frame and the back side of the bed mount to make up for all the metal I removed from the side of the mount

the top front hole of the new hanger will be to high to bolt to the frame so I chopped it off and welded a 1/2 strip to the side and drilled a hole a little lower.

here is what it will look like when it gets bolted up.

holes are drilled and the hanger is done.

Use the front lower hole on the frame with the rear lower hole on the mount.

Thank you for those pics. I'll check out the build. This makes more sense to me now.
 
i dont do that.

i just cock the mount to clear it and space the other holes with thick washers or simply grind the dimple off and use washers on all.

I don't mean any disrespect. Just saying there a few different ways to skin a cat.

I'm just gonna move the front hanger to where it needs to be. I could probably work some duct tape in there. I can cut off the bolts with a sawz all.
