Definately go with some fairly thick plate for the mounting brackets to, i welded a back bumper together for one of our scout leaders to put on his landcruiser and used 3/8 because it was what i had and it bent into the rear end of his rig when he came off a ledge

I just picked up a heavy duty brushguard that came off a 2006 GMC. Now all I have to do is figure out how to mount it on my 1987 F250. Still looking for a "real" bumper.

Depends on the plow, some mount between the frame and bumper, moving the bumper ahead a few inches. Another option is to have some welding and fabricating done and incorporate your bumper into the plow mount. Kenpobuck did that with his Bronco, there's a thread somewhere with some nice pictures.
