I recently scored on a sidewinder winch with a skid plate but it did not come with the mounting bracket. Does anyone have pictures of a bracket or know where i could find an og one?

Great winch! I used one mounted to my flatbed for many years. No idea on a bracket. I was able to bolt mine directly to my steel deck. Sharpie

thanks guys, im really excited to get it, the guy just told me that he also has the origional skid plate for it to. Really nice guy, all i need to do now is get my blazer put back together. I am building it from the ground up, i found nos lower trim, 72 tow hooks, tach gauge cluster and plus many others. I am really new to these things so i have been learning as I go.

Here are a couple pictures of my set-up. I ended up fabbing my own mount out of plate stock and L-beam. This allowed me to tuck the winch up and back enough to fit behind the bumper and just below the core support.
