Does anyone know who makes a front mount receiver for a '91 Blazer? I've been looking online, but I've only found them for '92-up.
 
I don't think anyone does. '92 and up would be IFS rigs like my DD.
 
Well... I do. :D


I made one for mine, anyway. If you know how to weld and have some 1/2" steel plate, it's not that difficult.
 
Hidden hitch used to but now Warn is the only company I know of that makes one. The problem is its expensive I was quoted $225 bucks for it when the warn classic winch bumper would be $335 and $104 dollars for the bumper and the mounting kit.
 
Warn makes them, as noted, for the 81-87/91 body style. Leastaways they did two years ago or so when I put one on the Burb.


Nobody makes 'em for 73-80 that I've found -- 'cept, as noted, custom jobs.

I fabbed one in my bumper. You can buy the receiver part at a trailer supply shop. Then use some flat plate at least 3/8" thick with some bracing.

It is a fairly easy project...

Cabela's lists a Warn for your application. It's $180. A little pricey, but if you don't have access to a welder it's your best bet.
 
Found the ones by Warn, thanks. The custom built ones seem interesting though. Maybe time to take a trip to wrecking yards to find one wide enough that I can chop to size.
 
I made this one about ten years ago. It's been on 2 K-10's and now my '73 K-5.

Even pulled up a few small trees and listened to the frame groan and squeek winching with my Warn i9000.
