Highboy front bumper

What is this? On my 76 Highboy I've got a little metal plate there, but I'd love to have D ring hook ups.

Looks custom, and looks like the pickup in the picture has a body lift? Don't remember the fronts of the frame rails being that visible. Have a buddy that built a front-mount receiver hitch that tied in similar to that, but I don't know of a commercially-available one for a dent...... The ears on that one look like they might be for a tow bar, maybe not.

I like that you have tow points in the front, but you are still able to keep the classy look of the stock chrome bumper. How durable are the tow points? Do you have build plans?

I like to occasionally put her in the mud so I need to have easy tow points? They need to be strong enough to pull a 76 F250 highboy ranger XLT snatched out of the mud.
