If you are asking if they should fit, then yes.

There are generally 2 styles of brackets

Fabricated and Punched/bent

Et looks like you have the fabricated variety

Either will work- you set up looks correct

Country is right, those are the good-old welded version, winch brackets and frame extensions. Actually, they are stronger than the stamped ones, IMHO.

You may compare yours to the dimensions posted here... (if still in doubt).

Thank you, I won the winch and brackets for $50.00 on a Auction site. I am now looking for the chain and hook, and the cable guides. Would it be OK to buy grade 8 bolts for the frame extensions and bumper bolts?
Thanks

All that, for $50??? No, you didn't win it... , you stole it!:)

Grade-5 hardware will work and Grade-8 is perfect...
Anyway, be prepared to pay more than $50, just for the hardware!

I kind of felt bad when I picked it up. (not really...lol) Are their any marking to possibly find out when it was made? The cable still has the protective coating on it when it was made. Found the cable guides but still looking for the chain and hook. Anyone around western Washington have an extra one to sell? Thank you all for responding to my questions. Thanks again,
