Take a look at Dirty Larry's truck. He has a thread at the top of the first page about taking a desert trip. I believe the winch on the front of his truck is called a Sidewinder.

I've Ben thinking about this. Maybe cutting out the license plate and mounting the dollars there? Also have thought about a flip down license plate with a hitch receiver and power connections behind it. Then have a hitch mount winch so I can use if on either end.

Early Classic Enterprises makes a very nice setup. I used it on my 71 Suburban. Love it. I recently spoke with them and was told with a few minor mods it would work on the 73 and later models also.

Delete my post. Read it as hitch not winch. Moe coffee.
