I think that's what I'm going to do. I was able to get the original Ramsey winch that was on it.

I missed that the winch mount was installed by the dealer, great decision on putting it back, even better having the original winch..... Looking forward to the pics!

How did you score the original winch? Did the previous owner stumble upon it and offer it up? I think you are right on track reuniting the winch and truck! Can't wait to see it on.

I was able to get it from a family member. I should have the freshly powder coated mount and winch back on the truck this week.
