Re: PO has me PO'd
Energy suspension has the TC side mounts. I just get the part number from their website and have my NAPA order them.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Yep, I know how you feel, my wife drives a Malibu too.
I should see the Camaro when I get home from this underway. Ordered it while I was in Japan and I've been waiting for them to finish and ship it since I got home. Can't wait!

Re: PO has me PO'd
Sorry, I was just sitting back and reading everyone else's progress(just enjoying the ride) forgot I was supposed to be building a truck. But, I ain't goin' to lie to ya, it was a nice break with the Holidays and Family
So, while I wasn't doin' anything, I was spending money! Picked up a Cruise, and finally found my seat tracks(drivers side) for the utility seats, now I can mount the seat up on the passenger side, and a Quadrajet carb...Oh yeah, I also bought a R/C Helicopter, pretty cool, I haven't hit the Christmas tree YET After 3 weeks of thought and moving and rearranging and more thought, I finally have a plan to mount up my winch/with stock bumper. It will have a cradle of sorts under the plate that will hold the winch(warn model 8000), plus be bolted to the forward crossmember, frame rails and front bumper at each side of the license plate bump out. Today I actually made a pattern for the cradle, so once my new bumper bolts get here I can put the bumper on and start the final mock up Pics to follow, before I get one of those blasted "this thread is worthless w/o pics" slogans

Re: PO has me PO'd
I think I got it
Always home, best place to be, wifey makes sure of that! OK. now it's your turn to get back to work ![]() Still have to make the bend for the bumper, sure wish steel bent like aluminum. Hole in crossmember makes for an ideal mounting point. Also planning to drill out a rivet in the leaf spring mount for the plate to bolt in...Sheesh, someday I have to paint the frame, that looks like crap ![]() ![]() still have to build the bracket to mount the tank to the battery box, but this location seems to be the best ![]()

Re: PO has me PO'd
Kurt is right, as usual, you can fit a mounting plate for the winch and retain the stock bumper
Changed direction again! I think is the final fitment ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: PO has me PO'd
Looks like I will have to make a cut out on my plate, so the winch feet have metal to bolt to. Thank goodness for the license plate bump out

Re: PO has me PO'd
Scrap alum. I had laying around, still in the mock up. When it comes time to put the 1/4" plate in, I may have to cut the frame horns behind the bumper and slide it straight in from the front...dunno yet
I don't have the lower pan, but I may just cut it and use the outside pcs., I'm not using the center grille support either

Re: PO has me PO'd
I only have one issue with mounting the winch behind the bumper, engaging it. Do you plan on just running it out with the remote when you use it or reaching under (or over if the hoods up) to get at it?? Other than that I really like the idea.
