Old Winch Mount... Warn?

[USSkoval]

The following pics are of the winch mount I just pulled off of my '79 K30. After removing it, I think it's actually for a '78-'95 Chevy Van, due to the bolt spacing of the outer mounts. The inner mounts, which line up with the frame horns of the truck, look like they were added. Obviously, the receiver and that crappy fairlead were also added later. There is also a sticker that has been painted over that looks like a Warn "W".

Anyone recognize this mount and who might have made it? Curiosity is getting the better of me.

Brush guards, winch mount and side members are definitely old WARN.

I believe all of the pieces that are welded on are "custom" add-ons by somebody.

I had a Warn winch mount very similar to that one and sole it to a member on here. The actual mounts don't appear to be original like IGOR said but everything else is definately Warn.

Ok, cool. The outer mounts look like they have been there from the start, but like I said earlier, I think it's actually for a van. They have the same bumpers, but the mounting holes are in different locations.

sweet put that winch on a 80's chevy van, add some huricane rims and paint a stip down the side like A-Team

A similar thought had already crossed my mind I would love to have a late 70's 4x4 Chevy van. I miss my '78 (2wd) painted black/gray with red stripe, chrome Altas wheels, captain's buckets, dual sunroofs, rear couch, shag carpet, loud exhaust... it was badass

Fwiw, over the years I've bought 2 bumpers and 2 combo type winch mounts that were all Warn brand and every one had a "W" embossed above the fairlead hole.
