Need a road armor style winch bumper for the '71. Any makers out there? Or is it better to make my own?

I always liked this one but some say the company is tough to deal with, maybe thing's have changed for the better by now.

I remember the "goose"!

Anybody know if those Road Armor bumpers are adjustable top to bottom for body lifts?

Is That Road Armor bumper actually for the 67-72 model, or is it for another model made to fit. Judging by the last pic I would say modded to fit. Still looks great though. Got anymore pics of the truck.

Thank you vtblazer! That is alot of what I was looking for [second pic]. I cant seem to make the link work. It tells me "no matches found." Was this fitted from another model?

I believe the bumper was made for 73+ trucks and then adapted to fit.

`73-up stuff fits `72s if it`s moved a couple inches forward,due to the peaked ront end.I bought a Western Plow for an`84 and bolted it in a`71.I moved the mount forward,one hole in the frame lined up and I drilled the other.
