Wow ... good stuff, Earl.

So if I am reading this right, I leave the stock hangers in position, 
hold the new hanger next to it (after I cut an opening in the frame 
rail), and mark the bolt hole.  I pull the new hanger down and drill it, 
then place it back up there and hold in in place with the threaded stock 
while I tack it in place?

In the BigBlockPart page they just cut away one side of the frame rail 
... did that work for you?

Doesn't sound too awful, but I might just take you up on your offer to 
chat on the phone ... 

Thanks!
