Your truck has the longer 251 engine in it, and the frame extensions you have are for a truck with a 230 engine. I ran into the same problem a while ago trying to do the same thing. I ended up cutting the frame extensions just in front of where it flares out and welding in a section of 2 x 1/8" flat stock shaped to match the extension. It looks factory now.

The rear winch support for the 251 trucks is worthless (the one in your second picture), since it has no lateral strength and all the stress is loaded onto the front support. I would simply notch your existing rear support to clear the radiator. I only had to shave off 1/4" from mine to make it fit around the radiator.
