Twinpinion,
Is your avatar a picture of a deuce at a tractor pull?

Next week our county fair is happening. I'm tinking of going, to pull the transfer sled during the modified truck and tractor pulls!

Here are a couple of "file" photos.

The first pic also includes part of the frame and the bumper bracket that were cut with the "blue wrench".

The second pic shows the brackets mounted together backwards (incorrectly)

So the brackets not only move the bumper forward, they lift it too? Dang. Those look nothing like what I had planned. But my winch is different too. Thanks for the pics. They do give me some ideas.

Wait- Are you thinking of putting that big winch from the link on the nose of your deuce? Admirable...but WAY TOO BIG. I've got a 20,000# Garwood on mine from the nose of a 5 ton truck but I've got it set back due to the V-style engine I swapped in and the ability to move the radiator back by it's thickness allowing the winch to back to the front crossmember. Only extended the frame just a fuzz over 7-1/2" to wedge that big sucker in there. PTO driven from stock 3053A PTO.

Saw that other winch you were inquiring about too...the Braden. Looks like it's from an old civvy wrecker maybe.

Here a link anyway that shows a couple pics of the front of my truck with the winch. It's a few pics down.

Looks like the factory brackets move the front bumper forward 10 or so inches...I'm not sure. Since I'm not too concerned with approch angle that should be fine. With that kind of room I should be able to fit it. The winch will fit between the framerails...just barely. I think the main problem is where the cable will come out at. I still have some measuring to do. For now I started pulling the winch apart to change the seals. Anyway the mount would be something like the WC-52 mount but lower so I wouldn't need to cut the deuce bumper for cable clearance. Imagine the winch mounting bolts going straight through the front bumper, the mounting feet will be hidden behind the bumper instead of on top like the WC. I'll look into it more. If not I can always mount it in the rear under the bed. Plenty of room but the PTO routing would require a chain drive.
