If those front hanger/body mounts are a rusted mess let me know. I have a couple pairs of them from CA trucks :D

Same here I've got spares if needed, but with Martin around he probably has access to plenty!
 
Haven't had a chance to do anything with it yet.

Shop is full of customer stuff and I need it to be nice so I can power wash it all off so I can start working on it in the shop.

Might pick up some metal tomorrow to start the K5 tank swap. Or maybe just use the existing cross members, move them, and order k5 tank straps?

When I did this it didn't make sense to use any of the k10 crossmembers. The k5 crossmembers would work if you had them? I ended up using some angle iron I had laying around with the stock k5 straps and skid.

Do you have any pictures of the install?

Surprised this didnt get posted yet. Just a little how to with the moving of the spring hanger.

Mine are not done that way. My entire body mounts have been removed from the frame.

The rivets holding the spring hanger and the spring hanger support to the body mounts are still in place. The left body mount was installed on the right side, and vice versa.
