ISO cast wire rope guides for Dodge WC 1/2 ton

Post by M40scoutsniper » Sat Sep 10, 2022 4:38 pm

Good evening! Been wrenching on my WC-4 every chance I get and I finally got a Braden winch to replace the Tulsa that was mounted on it. The only thing I still don’t have and I’m having some trouble finding is the 2 cast wire rope guides that attach to both sides of the inner portion of the bumper. If anyone has some they’d like to sell please let me know!

Thank you for the reply. That parts diagram you referred to is for the MU-2. I have just the MU setup. I’ll probably just call VPW. I talked with John Bizal over at MidWest. He has one, but not a pair.

I don't know the difference in an MU; just have had MU2s. What is the difference?

The only real difference I’m seeing from the parts diagram is the front and rear mounting angle irons and the wire guides. The wire guides for my 1/2 ton WC is a “U” shaped one-piece stand alone. And then the Two other guides attach to the bumper. The wire rope guide on the MU-2… does it have a roller?

Yes there is a roller that mounts between the legs of the guides; it is a long bolt and has a tube/roller over it. About one foot long. Looks like you might just use an MU2 front mounting bracket to compensate for the tall front bracket you have. That sits on top of the cast cable guides, which sit on top of the bumpers. Come over and I'll show you some.
Call Vintage and they will probably know.
