First Gen Pickup Hidden Winch?
« on: Jan 28, 2016, 05:09:35 PM »
I doubt there is room for a hidden winch on a first gen pickup, but has anyone ever done it? I can't find any photos of anything similar.

what is the look you are looking for? you are going to need some type of plate to mount it into.....

some are more low profile than others, but you are still going to have something sticking out

Yeah I was hoping to keep it completely stock looking. I was pretty sure that couldn't happen. If I really want a winch, I'll probably make a receiver somewhere in the front to have a removable one.

More or less impossible because you would be getting into the space the radiator takes up. You'd have to do a radiator re-locate which is going to look a lot more goofy and less stock than a nice winch bumper and winch is.
