Work in progress. I took a hitch that went to a 1998 S-10 and cut it to 33" and tacked to front. Then took the ends and used them as the plates for a secure weld to the frame. There is enough clearance for a plate for the eventual winch. I will use the stubs for a bull bar and unsure what I'm going to do for the ends right now but will eventually add more. I don't this in about 2 hours at the cost of 0$ since I had the hitch already
