Thanks for the nice examples, I like the one on the yellow cabover. I'm starting to draw/plan out something tonight. I want to finish the bumper/winch setup first.

Anyway, I split the bumper and spread apart to match winch mount,trying to keep the rear edge in the factory location. After I like it, I'm gonna weld on a piece of diamond plate similar to the bumper picture with a winch "jmadson" posted. thanks,

 

 

starting on brush guard tomorrow....

 

Beautiful job!

Nice work. Looking good.

 

firatrider, do you have the email for First rides? I'd like to contact him about the grill guard in WI. Thanks

Visited that yard again last Oct . The whole front clip was gone along w/ the grill guard .

 

OK, thanks.......-Richard Grace

 

I have a bumper and grill guard like whats on the yellow truck above, a member from Texas sold and shipped it to me..
My bumper does not have the pc of 1/2" stock welded to it. I dreamed of a winch as well, this M3 has a pto and hyd dump, thought of a hyd winch, the winch dream is fading here....
thanks for sharing folks.

I know this thread is old but.. It seems like MyWifesTruck has one and Bobj49f2 has or had one and i just got this one. Those are the only others that I have seen or heard of. Is this style/design just odd?

 

That is exactly like the one that came new on my truck....it was $35

I wish that was what I paid for this one. Funny thing is this one came of a 48 F-3 in Pa.

 

Great find,

Could you tell me what size the metal flat stock is? looks like 1/4" by 2"..... or slightly different.

I think I might try to copy, but go around my winch...

 

52 F-3

 

Thanks very much,

Hmm, I'd call that 5/16 by 1 3/16... Gonna see what closest flat stock to that I can find.
