    designing & building custom winch mounts - front & rear

    The brackets may be different because of the ages of the trucks ? While mine is registered as a 71' matching the dash and paperwork that came with it from GL, at least the frame, cab and one axle (Timkin, not Rockwell !) are early gasser parts from ~1951 based on the frame serial number I later...

    designing & building custom winch mounts - front & rear

    Measued at the bottom of the slot (to ignore the top, which is slightly twisted and different on both of my brackets, so I suspect they have been tweeked over the years) I would say the slot is 1/2" to 17/32" wide. I agree the slot centerline is 3/8" in front of the rear hole centerline. (I...

    designing & building custom winch mounts - front & rear

    Another marginal power point drawing...:oops: I'm glad you decided not to move the bumper yet, the more I looked at it while doing yard work all weekend, the more I thought it wouldn't be worth it without a completely new integrated bumper / winch mount / guide assembly. I even then, why...

    The horizontal distance from the rear of the bottom bumper flange to the bottom front of the drive gear housing is 2 1/4", or to a bolt head 2". But, the gear housing is vertically above the bottom flange and at an angle (bottom sticks out furthest), so I don't think that would be the first...

    designing & building custom winch mounts - front & rear

    winch with bumper pictures OK, some winch pictures with the bumper. Not a lot of space between the bumper and winch, but you could probably gain 3-4 inches if you did a better job of integrating the winch, guides, and bumper.

    designing & building custom winch mounts - front & rear

    some picture of front winch Since I have the front sheet metal off, here are some pictures that may help. Looking at the approach angle relative to the front axle, I'm not sure how much you can lower the winch without cutting into your ground clearance. Note that all these pictures are on...
