it is for a winch.
gives me an idea as to doing something with bumpers that are bent in in the middle, cut off the ends and use them to make a winch bumper.

Why would someone have a winch bumper on a 2wd?

weird.

I think it is to put your flag block in so you can fly your stars and bars proudly on whatever occasion (july 4th, memorial day, sept 11th, etc) you would normally fly an American flag.

or maybe to mount a spare tire in front of the grille.
Or a specially designed Mother-in-law chair.

I sure like the sheet of plywood he has covering the massive hole in his dash, where he must have had an old style clock radio at one time, judging by the size.

It's to carry the inserts for the side emblems he forgot to install.

The guy actually used the word "Cherry" in his description!!

while the truck is not ALL that bad, in the case of the fender pictured above, maybe he is referring to cherry bark

did anyone notice the custom holding tank on the driver's inner fender? Maybe a rad overflow, or a heavy-duty washer bag? definitely a "made for this inner fender" application.
cool deal.

i suppose one would think a winch on a 2wd unusual but i have seen them.
a 2wd gets stuck a lot easier than a 4x4 and up here there are 2wd trucks with winches.
i dont have one on my 4x4 , not because i dont have spare winches but because i have not had the time to fabricate one which looks good on the front of the truck. a big channel bumper or pipe is not what i want, i had some time thinking about making a beefed up stock bumper to accomodate a winch, not quite exactly like the truck in this thread but along the lines somewhat.of course having a towtruck with 2 winches on the back makes putting one on the 66 less likely anyway.
