Re: Winch Bumpers

My '70 Suburban has a custom built diamond-plate winch bumper and brush guard that was built for it when the truck was bought new. It's a nice one and built real tough, too bad someone stole the winch off of it before I bought the truck. The only thing I didn't like is they welded it to the truck's frame and didn't bolt it on. I need to pull it off and paint it before it rusts out so it's gonna take some good torch work to wash the welds off clean. I got a few pictures today before it got dark so here they are, took 'em on my phone so they're nowhere near the best. Someone added the chrome tubing to it at some point, I'm going to remove it and replace it with flat-strap once I get to work on the truck again.

Under the driver's side, has a tow hook made out of 1" steel round bar for each side.
