I think I kind of get what you are thinking. The 2 hinges are close to each other and the bars spread as it goes out till you hit the tire mount? I would draw an example of my thoughts but I'm kind of lazy and going to bed in a minute.
EDIT: Also for Joe, I made a trip to the JY today. No new sag pumps
I also cannot buy a backing plate from there. It's either a $450 full 9" rear end or nothing. Though the price isn't bad and I could get different gears with it, I would rather just get the work done than needs t be done and worry about gears later.

Your junkyard SUCKS the one by my place will let me pull individual pieces. Call NW Auto Recyclers and ask for price on a backing plate and drum, don't give them specifics, just ask for flat prices. If it's fair I can run up there and pull the parts, hell I think the whole rear should be cheaper than $450 F-ing dollars. And if you're worried about a single hinge tire carrier then just make it hinge the same way the tailgate does and use Cam locks and you can put as many hinges points on as you want.

yeah, your junkyard sucks. many of the full-service yards suck, they want to sell you complete items for way too much money. i use pick-n-pull in lynnwood, they also have a tacoma yard which would be a lot closer for you. completely self service, $1 to walk in the door, and fair prices, all of which can be looked up on their site picknpull.com

It kills me to pay $1 to walk on the lot.
Dylan, I saw a thread about a guy ripping his bumper off and made a new one that was BEEF 4"x6" x1/4". You could mount what ever you wanted on it.
Jameson, were you still interested in borrowing that welder? And are you going to the meet?

Hey everyone. I started a thread in the 73-79 forum to get Opposum reinstated. He was banned from fte. If you know him please add your two cents. He was a member of the Wa chapter. He will be coming to the meet this Saturday as well.
Thanks Joe.

I like the one on the Excursions or whatever the number 5 and 6 pictures are. that's a heck of a bumper. Might take a while to figure out how to mount it to get everything to work. I've never installed a custom bumper, heck I only recently installed my first bumper on an Econoline van at work. I've never had a reason to take one off.
