I installed an ACM5 8000 lb. Braden Winch on mine about 3 months after I bought the truck. This PTO version is quite a bit smaller than the other Braden models and fits quite nicely under the front valence and behind the stock bumper. I had to fabricate new bumper brackets and the stock bumper sits forward about 1 1/2 inches. I cut a hole in the bumper behind the license plate and have a hawse fairlead (You have to take off the license plate to use the winch). There are three universals, one at the winch, one at the pivot on the bearing attached to the truck frame, and one at the Chelsea PTO. I bought the winch and PTO for $150 Canadian and had to cut it off the front of a rusted out Suburban. Let me know if you need any further info.
