Installing SD recovery points on an OBS??????

[LonesomeSTX]

I have some OE tow hooks from some Super Duties and I want to install them on all three of our OBS trucks (ours range from 95 to 97). Can someone post photographs of how they are mounted on the Super Duty frame horns? It would be very helpful to post as many angles as possible. Also, have any one you done this mod? If so how?

I've never done it but I can get you some pics in a little bit. You'll have to cut the bumper though that much I know.

I kind of figured. Before I go any further I want to see how much cutting. I sure will appreciate any photographs.

The bolts just run right up through the bottom of the frame. You can't really see them because of the front leaf perch.

Let me know if you need any more.

Thanks.

I see the frame is significantly different. The square parts around the frame horn, does that bolt on?

Like the facing that the bumper bolts to? No, that is part of the frame.

Thanks again. I am planning on running a SD front pumper on one of my trucks. I see no reason I cannot fab up a plate like that ine. However, I have an issue with the other two trucks. Can you get me a shot of the under side where the bolts for the hooks go through the frame?

You can't really see it because they're under the front spring hanger.

Damn, I was afraid of that. I put a shackle reverse kit on my OBS. I really do not want to mod it at all becuase it has already been powder coated.
