Ed,
What kind of hitch do you have for the front? I would like to get one for my 2002 7.3. Also does anyone have info on mounting one of these in conjunction with a fisher minute mount. Any help would be great.
Thanks
Dirty

Not sure how your plow mounts up, but the hitch just bolts to the exact same spots as the the bumper. If your plow does mount to hose bolts, you might be able to fit it.
The only things I had to take off was the factory fog lights. Those were the only things in the way.

If you really want to go crazy, take a look at this website. They manufacture the complete bumper with a front receiver and winch compartment. It still uses the factory hooks and allows for a larger fog light too.
