Just out of luck of the blue on craigslist, a Warn Classic winch mount bumper for a 67-72 for $50!!! Discontinued and not available new.

Should pick it up today, will get it powdercoated when I do the roll cage. Gonna have to figure out how to mount the front 71-72 turn signals though...

bouncytruck · 03-02-2005, 12:14 PM

Very cool. Can you cut some rectangle hole for the turn signals?

Just what I was thinking. Sure it could be done pretty easily.

**Yukon Jack** · 03-02-2005, 02:00 PM

Nice score - will look forward to seeing it mounted on your Blazer.

redz 1970 K5 · 03-02-2005, 05:39 PM

Warn rep was really cool... Said any modern day roller fairlead and winch will bolt right up. He was even excited that I scored one, and was more then willing to help, he just asked that I buy a Warn winch when the time comes. He is scanning and emailing me installation instructions!

Said it's the same bumper that is still in production, they just discontinued the brackets like 14 years ago.

NICE SCORE

redz 1970 K5 · 03-02-2005, 05:56 PM

Here's some pics of it on a k5... Totally stoked! Thanks Burt4x4 for the pics.

bouncytruck · 03-02-2005, 06:21 PM

Did Burt cut holes for his turn signals? His look rounded, like off-the-shelf lights.

THE LOOK LIKE THE WATERPROOF TYPE USED IN SEMI APPLICATIONS

redz 1970 K5 · 03-02-2005, 06:38 PM

Warn only provided mounting brackets for lights to mount on top of the bumper, and it looked pretty crappy IMO. Who knows, maybe Burt just glued some lenses onto the bumper to keep the heat off, but otherwise he definitely cut holes for them.

I am going to cutout for the factory rectangular lenses, and probably just support and RTV the stock lense assemblies in place.

Nice score for sure..

redz 1970 K5 · 03-04-2005, 12:39 AM

I found a winch at fourwheelparts- Mile Marker is having a promotion on an 8000lb winch (remote solenoid) w/ roller fairlead and cover for $399 through the end of March!

Soon as Uncle Sam comes in, that thing is on order!

bouncytruck · 03-04-2005, 12:32 PM

Is it legal to put a Mile Marker winch on a Warn bumper?

redz 1970 K5 · 03-04-2005, 01:16 PM

Boy if there were legalities involved with cross vendor installations, I would be guilty on all charges...

Look at my suspension for example-

Rancho Shocks
Tuff Country 6" Front Springs
Superlift 4" Rear Springs
Rough Country 2" Rear Blocks
ProComp Steering arm
Prothane shackle bushings

Just the way I do business I suppose... Piece by piece.

**Yukon Jack** · 03-05-2005, 10:45 AM

Burt4x4's bumper is not a warn bumper. From another message board he identifies it as "The bumper I have was made in 1999 by http://www.kenmtn.com/ I had it custom fit to my application."

**Canadian694x4** · 03-05-2005, 04:13 PM

Nice Score Redz...Can't wait to see 'er mounted!

wyatt-erp · 03-07-2005, 12:28 AM
