Re: front mount hitch

It's just a plow truck, but as a crossmember and plow mount I welded a 4x6 1/8" plate on the inside of my frame rails and slid a 2" receiver hitch tube inside and burned it in. Stiffens up the front end and makes a great tow point to boot!

Re: front mount hitch

I'd like to make bumpers, but I need more equipment. I have a small fab shop out of my garage.

Re: front mount hitch

I will be making one for my truck and my brother's 87 blazer by the years end. I'll post the pics once completed. I'd be happy to make one for anyone who would like one.
