Highboy Brush Guard

Anyone know where I can find a brush guard, preferably with a winch plate for a 74 highboy

I'm pretty sure you will have to find one on the cheap and modify it..

Paid 50$ for mine off Craigslist and paid 60$ to have the brackets welded on..

Get one from Craigslist...and then cut weld mod. Or maybe stop by the local welding shop and see what they have as far as ideas and cost.

I'd guess 40-50#s. I took it off the truck, have it on a shelf in the barn. Asking $100 problem is someone would have to be local shipping probably would kill the deal
