Winch mount bumpers for a 70

Does anyone make one that is easily available? Or am I stuck with having one made?

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.

I am guessing it is off to shop class if I want to mount a winch.

Re: Winch mount bumpers for a 70

i was thinking the samething but then since im enrolled in a welding class at our comminity college.

i think im just gonna fab up my own, but insted a full winch bumper i think ill just cut and weld a reciever hitch so it can be removable.

just my 0.2 cents

Good idea that way you can move it from front to back depending on which way you need to pull.

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.

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.

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!
