Re: Winch mount bumpers for a 70
I have been looking for options for my 59. I did a site search and came up with a couple of threads that discussed different aftermarket and owner fabricated setups. I'm going to run an old Sidewinder winch that uses a frame mount. Originally they had a fairlead cut into the stock bumper, I am going to mount mine below it.

Re: Winch mount bumpers for a 70
I am guessing it is off to shop class if I want to mount a winch.

Re: Winch mount bumpers for a 70
Hey A. (Diesel Eater),
any chance of seeing some pics of how you attached the front receiver to your frame?? Sure would appreciate seeing how its done so I can give it a try for my winch attachment. I already have a Ramsey REP 8000 mounted to a 3/8 plate with fairlead attached, that's welded to a length of 2x2 square stock. I used to plug it into the hitch on the back of my Grand Cherokee. I had run #2 welding cable through the frame and had a quick connect plug sitting back there for the winch. Just re-found the winch it in the garage and was thinking it would work up front on the K20? Thanks for whatever help you can offer. 72longbed |

Re: Winch mount bumpers for a 70
Craigslist - you'll have to modify it but it would be a great start.

Re: Winch mount bumpers for a 70
Sorry for the obtuse answer. I just meant look on Craigslist in your area. I am assuming shipping would be a deal breaker but there are several in the Dallas area.
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/pts/1478162924.html http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/pts/1476697684.html http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/pts/1474144731.html http://dallas.craigslist.org/sdf/pts/1480265454.html http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/pts/1478281548.html They would all take a little modification, but you get the idea. |

Re: Winch mount bumpers for a 70
Thanks Big-Blue,
I'm looking for a FRONT winch bumper though. Those new companies don't make them for my year trucks, 67-72, so I'll be looking for a used bumper in good shape or a 'custom built' one that will fit 68-72 4x4. But thanks anyway! 72longbed |
