on the drivers side of front crossmember, your truck's x-member may have a relief cut into it for PTO driveshaft clearance. If the relief is not present, your truck is a non-winch model. So, if you do install a factory W300 LU-2 or MU-2A winch, you will have to deal modifying the crossmember, which could weaken it if not done properly. I have a W300 parts truck with the front crossmember cracked in half because of that modification and some serious off road abuse.
