1/2t's didn't use bolt on frame extensions, they used a factory frame with lengthened rails. And ambulances had a longer frame, so there is no O.E. ambulance/winch system. Unless you find a donor frame for the longer front 'horns', then you could do a good looking job, depending on your fabrication skills.
Otherwise, fabricate some of your own extensions? I did once, and put a MU5 into my 1/2t command car.It has a bigger spool, so I had to position it so the rt end bracket was inside of the frame channel. That put it low enough so I didn't have to cut the front crossmember for the PTO shaft. Then, I obtained another front spring pack, dissaembled all three, and 'shuffled' 2 extra leaves from he extra pack into each side, that monster weighed a ton!
If I find the pics, I'll email them.
