Well, it's time to do more work on my 1983 F250. I've liked the look of winch bumpers, and winches are cool, so I put this thing together. A roll bar and some fog lights would complete the look I'm going for. I also did some general maintenance and proceeded to get myself stuck deep in the mud. More coming soon on that.
