I have done a little bit of research and it seems that the front bumper was installed in the factory in Flint Michigan along with the PTO winch. The bumper is just like the one in the special equipment section of the brochure. The glove box plate says it came with a 6cyl so along the way it must have been changed out for the 350. It has the sm465 trans with the np205 transfer case going to 3.73 gears, but the rear end is not posi. I have 35's on it now and it still has great pick up off the line so I guess the tire size is fine.
ANyhow, it sure is a lot of fun to drive around so far!
