Winches and bumpers and stuff, oh my! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Assuming I ever get my CST back on the road (which is a real possibility since I've got a line on a good sounding late model 350 for a measly $250), I'm tossing around the idea of putting a winch on the front.

Don't get me wrong. It's not like I go muddin' or anything, but we can get some pretty wicked snow. I've got studs on all four tires and I'll put some weight in the back, but it sure seems like a winch could be handy.

Anybody know what front bumper options exist for something like this? Links? Pics? Opinions?

These guys can make you a winch bumper http://www.kenmtn.com/html/wincher.html

They can make it as custom as you want.

Reunel makes really good bumpers. about $2000 each
The bull bars are solid 7/8 high tensile steel.

Warn make them too, for a lot less.

Grab a copy of Petersens Off road and look at the ads in there.

I just did an ebay search on winch bumper, and I was surprized.

Quite a few good deals
