Re: Winch Bumpers

You are not going to find hardly anybody wanting to do this. Try the 4x4 forum, that would be much better. Maybe a mod can move this over there for you. I bought a used custom made steel plate bumper/brush guard combo off a 73 and up Chevy 4x4 for $50.00 that I will modify to fit my lifted 68 C10 2wd. The main consideration is making sure the force of the winch is properly distributed to the frame of the truck. Otherwise, the winch will just pull the bumper off the truck first time you use it. I do remember reading on here about a small manufacturer that made these custom but the cost was outrageous, like over $1,000 per bumper. Try doing a search here for more info. I also remember seeing an article in a 4 wheel drive magazine that showed the GM Truck Center make a winch bumper custom for some 71 or 72 off road Suburban. I believe it was tubular and ugly to me but maybe they can make you one that looks better.
