I bought a winch 5 months ago and never mounted it, then 3 weeks ago I went wheelin' and got stuck. So... I went to the junkyard looking for a good donor receiver and just so happened to find one the exact length I needed on the back of a 90s full size Chevy. $20 Then I found a winch plate and hitch at Harbor Freight $35. Had the receiver welded to the truck, and the hitch welded to the plate $30. Multi-Mount winch set up Grand total: $85





Since mounting the winch I've never been stuck!

 

looks damn good nice work

 

looks just like mine. i donno if i would trust the harbor freight plate tho but thats ur call

 

looks good my man.

 

siiiiiiiick lookin.

hope to get my front end to look the same some day.

 

I usually avoid Harbor Freight when it comes to tools and parts, but I figured a piece of 1/4" Chinese steel was a safe bet.

 

Looks awesome!!! Did you get the quick disconnects for the winch power wires?

 

Thanks for the complements guys!
The whole process from finding the hitch, to finding a welder, then mounting/welding was done in one evening.

 

Not yet, those things are pretty expensive! But when I do, I'll run some 2-4 gauge wire down the frame rail to the back hitch.

 

Looks good man. I like your truck too. Never seen it before

 

looks awesome good job

 

Very nice!

I still need to get a winch for my front receiver...

 

Looks good, but dude, cut down the size of that hideous tray! lol

 

Looks great man. Let us know how it works when you finally need it.

 

I was thinking of bending the sides up to make handles. Good idea?

Oh and that extra width gives me a convenient step

 

truck looks really good i cant wait to get mine built
