Looking to BUY Winch bumper and winch for 6 cyl

[oshkarmeyer]

Trying to find a driver quality winch bumper and winch for a 6 cyl.

6-cylinder is no different than a V8. Unless you are tring to scour together pieces of a vintage PTO winch.
What style of bumper are you looking for?
As for a daily driver quality winch, They are all really good these days. Warn has a heafty price tag that I can't justify for anything shy of a dedicated hard core trail rig or an unlimited budget build

Sorry, I should have clarified on that. Trying to find an original winch bumper and a Koenig winch with the PTO setup. By driver quality I meant something that hasn’t been through a full tear down and restoration. Hope that makes sense .

I sold one 66, 6cyl winch and bumper for about $1,000 15 years ago, I'm seeing just the winches go for more than that.

Here's the PTO... Been on Marketplace for quite a while. Not mine. $400

I made my own

 

[Broncobowsher]

I sat on a PTO winch and transfer case adapter for several years. It was given to me. Eventually gave it away. Tried selling it, zero interest.
It had no bumper, and was in rough shape. It would have taken a lot of work to make it look nice and be functional.

Hey thanks, I messaged him to see. That would be a start in the right direction at least. With mine being a 66 I figured I might as well take this thing the factory direction and keep it original because they’re so unique. I see you are/were AF, me too. Thanks for your service.

Yeah it is indeed crazy to see the changes in the market of these things. I have a Levi’s edition CJ7 and used to be able to find blue interior items for it on eBay. Now I can’t find anything but the same couple items that stay on there and for high prices. Blows my mind.

Thanks. Yeah, I did right at 28 1/2 years between active Air Force and Air National Guard. Retired last day of 2020.

Hey, as a Canadian, THANK YOU for your service. I have two cousins that served in the RCAF.

Thanks. When I was stationed in North Dakota back in '92-'94, there was what I would call a publicity event that USAF selected a few airmen and RCAF did the same, and switched locations for about a week I think, essentially each showing the other country how they operated. My boss submitted my name for it, but I didn't get selected. It would have been cool, for sure.

Had the same experience with the complete Koenig PTO winch & bumper assembly for my '57 Willys pick-up. The bumper was Bent from hitting a tree, but the winch & PTO drive had been rebuilt without being 'restored.' Zero interest at the time.

I've slowly been creating a bumper that will look like a 70's period Warn winch bumper for the Wagon.
ETA: A jpg of the bumper model:

No reason that the inner structure of this bumper couldn't be altered to fit an EB and to house a Koenig PTO winch if the parts can be found.

My one cousin was in Moose Jaw where he spent 2 years with the RCAF Snowbirds demonstration team. The other in Gander, they both finished their careers in Comox.
