Any links,names or builders for winch bumpers or mounting systems would be appreciated. I have a 10K Id like to install on our 95 GMC van. Figure its fab time but thought Id ask the experts here.
'95 was the body style transition year. Do you have the old body style? If yes, I would recommend a skid-plate to prevent the sheet-metal sub-frame from collapsing under a winch-load. The new body style vans have a ladder-frame, so they only need reinforcement for side-loads, but should be fine for mostly straight pulls.
I had a winch plate welded to my front hitch and went through the existing stock bumper for a 12k winch. Had Any Seven Offroad in San Leandro do it. Not sure where you live, but most any 4x4 shop could probably do something similar easily.
