I have seen some M880 trucks on the 'net that have been put into fire department use, with really big front bumpers with winches in them. What type of winches did FD's put on them? I haven't been able to locate any info through a search. Thanks for any tips. H.

Usually the Fire Dept trucks with winches are not M880s, but civilian W200, W300 and W400 trucks with the factory optional worm drive PTO winch. Later years would have gotten a Ramsey worm drive electric. Any thing could be added to an M880 in FD use and aftermarket installations usually involve a Warn winch bumper or custom fab bumper with various commercially available winches, usually electric.
