Front Receiver Options?

Are there any bolt-in options for a front receiver on a F100? I don't mind buying one that has to be cut and welded but I'd rather avoid the hassle.

If you can weld you might check out highntight's build thread. He custom made one. Along with both bad azz bumpers.

My brother and I just got done building one for his bronco. Used 2-1/2" square tube for the cross bar and 3x3 angle iron to bolt it to the frame. Put it between the frame rails, hidden behind the bumper. Then cut a square hole in the bumper for it to just barely poke through. Works great and basically 100% hidden. He uses it for a winch mount....

UPDATE: FRONT RECEIVER

Update: I have sourced a Draw-Tite brand front receiver that 'almost' fits. I will be posting updates and pics starting tonight. This is going to be easy...I've already measured and cut the receiver and with one other minor mod it should bolt right in. Stay tuned!

*Note: Some basic welding required.
