EASY CLETUS! Don't bust up that bow-tie, it didn't torque your wrench.....
Where do you think ford got all of their R&D from???? 
I don't mind the 'ole bow-tie. It is a nice cruiser and a hard worker. Bank repo and I am honestly impressed with that isuzu D/A combo. Little booger will work its little **** off.... But all of my fords sound so much cooler.

I've had a 95 2500 for several years and it is a nice car, but the reason I have it is a guy was mad and walked in and throwed the title on table and said you can have that sucker if you want it. lol

You are seriously awesome. I know a guy that towed big truck trailers with his D/A. That allison couldn't/wouldn't hold up under that kind of strain. His tranny cooler was too small. I installed the biggest one I could find on mine since I tow so much heavy equipment with it. 177K on the clock and that little turd is still runnin.

There is a place up in Springfield OR that will sell you a custom bumper as a kit. You weld it together and paint it and save hundreds. They sell finished ones as well and the prices are about the best I have seen.

This place is just a few hours north of me, going right through there in a couple weeks to go see my son. I am planning on stopping in there with a sketch of what I want and getting an estimate. I will post any info I can on the place after I visit there.
My idea is for a modified version of this bumper. No winch mount, use receiver mount and a portable winch. 2 more holes for kc fog lights on both sides of receiver. No side bars on the top bar, just the top bar itself and slightly lower.
