Need flush APU mounts (I need my catwalk)

Posted this in the flatbed section because I figured y’all were most likely to deal with this issue. And frankly, this is new to me.

I have an APU now, but I can’t mount my catwalk because of the APU mounts coming over the top of the frame.

Just looking for mount bracket alternatives, or ideas, so I can get the use of my frame back for mounting my catwalk.

I’m sure there’s an easy solution, but I’m not finding it.

thanks

 

Yeah, that’s plan B, but I thought I’ve seen mounts that come under the frame and press against it. But, yeah, will probably end up fabbing something.

Didn’t wanna notch the catwalk yet because I’m still playing with configurations and didn’t wanna commit. Plus, eventually I’m trying to sexify everything and want it to look factory ish. But considered that as well.

 

On the other side I have a step toolbox that we made some brackets for. I’ll probably go the same route with the APU using some heavy duty square tubing and existing frame holes. Was just kinda hoping there was some industry standard mount.

 

I’d rather not lol, but atleast I know now that that is a common work around.

I’ll try to remember to post pics here whatever I decide to do.
