Differences between our trucks and Super Duties
I have a chance to get a winch bumper for my 93 F-250. The thing is, it's off of a 2010 Super Duty.
So I need to know what the differences between the 2 trucks are, frame widths, body widths, bumper mountings, etc.
I know I'm gonna have to modify the bumper, but just how much modifing am I going to have to do?
Thanks in advance.

Well the biggest obstacle I see is that the OBS bumpers are flat all the way across the top and the SD bumpers kick up under the headlights. Also the OBS bumpers are curved and I think the SD bumpers are straight. I would think with the fab work involved you might as well build one from scratch.

Well the bumper has filler pieces that stick up under the headlights, so I see no problem cutting them off.
I have all the tools I need to modify the bumper. I just need to know if there is any major body width differences, and how are the bumpers mounted on the Super Duties, compared to my 93. Also the bumper has tp handle a 12,000 winch, so I don't want to afro engineer it, and have it fail at any time.
I was wrong on the year Super Duty the bumper is off of. It's a 2011 not a 2010.

No it's not free, but it is pretty cheap. There's no way I can build one that looks like this one.
I've looked at a lot of bumpers and quite frankly, this one is the only one that I like, it looks good, and has what I want, as far as D rings, light holes, brush bar etc.
