[QUOTE="semi" retired;4217739]One more thing, look on the inside of the frame so you don't drill through an air line or wires. (I did that once) and yeah, that's some hard metal![/QUOTE]
Funny you mention that, about a year ago I changed the seats, put a big visor on and needed to put the seats down on the floor, well the new setup required 2 new holes (one on each seat) to mount them and I spent a good 1 hour so trying to measure the floor to door area inside and then again underneath to ensure I didn't hit something when drilling down through..
I think I held my breath for about 3 min on each side hoping that I'd double checked everything enough and wasn't about to hit a harness/airline or some other important item underneath.

Lunchman Thanks this.

Just wanted to give a quick update and again say thanks to everyone for the good advice.
This is what I ended up doing, changed the wiring back to the center lights (those where just being used as running lights) and picked up these cheap hangers. I've just got a bent over nail in there until I can get to the hardware store and picked up a nice Pin.
Thanks again for all the good suggestions and I seemed to have no issues this week with them, never even took them off and pulled the 20's, 40's and 53' chassis's without any issues.. =) -
They do the job and a lot of people always comment about CONTAINER trucks not being dressed up with the chromed mud flap holders and lights but as you see there is a good reason why
Lunchman Thanks this. -

[QUOTE="semi" retired;4437622]Hi lunchman, btw, keep the light bar so it can go back on when (not if) you get tired of intermodal.[/QUOTE] Sadly, I tore one of them all up the first time I pulled a 53' chassis.. I ran into a guy a few weeks later that did the same thing and ended up selling the good one to him. Looking around, all I could find was them sold in pairs.. So, when the day comes, Ill just have to buy 2 new ones..
"semi" retired Thanks this.
