Regular hood to a ecv conversion.
I have a regular hood so I want to convert my hood into an ecv hood and stub nose, get an ibis tec bumper and I have a mile marker winch installed. My question is would I have to get a new winch and could anybody help me on part numbers so I can make a wish list. Thank you

Re: Regular hood to a ecv conversion.
The extended nose trucks have the 9K winch plate and frame extensions.
Your current MM winch plate won't work....to short
MM supposably makes an extended front one, but never seen one on this planet.
IbisTek bumper can bolt up to the 9K plate.

Re: Regular hood to a ecv conversion.
Now my next question would i be able to bolt the MM winch to a 9k plate? The 9k plate I can get from eBay but what are the part numbers for the mounts? Thank you

A friend just completed a ecv conversion on his truck and mounted a front winch. His however, is a Warn winch if that makes much difference.

Re: Regular hood to a ecv conversion.
I want to stick with MM but I called MM and they said they still carry the extended plate and the mounts. Which I'm waiting on a price. Would a time know where I can get the grill and the hood insert for a fair cheap price? I work for a body shop so for doing the mod on the hood. Shouldn't be hard.

Re: Regular hood to a ecv conversion.
There are at least 2 of the grills on eBay right now.

Your talking about the armoured grill that's on the hood. I already have one of those. I was talking about the armoured grill where the headlamp mount too. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Regular hood to a ecv conversion.
The ECV nose grill is not armored.
Its a wire screen.
Armored grills are on the non-ECV hoods

But do they make an armored grill for the stub nose? So at least I know and stop looking for something that doesn't exist. Thank you

Re: Regular hood to a ecv conversion.
There is a grille in the extended ECV and REV Section and a grille in the top of the hood. For the Extended section, it would have that black wire mesh that is soldered together that looks like one of those "Strut" grilles that people would put on cars to make them look like a Bentley or something fancy. The hood grilles would have the aluminum slat covering with I guess Seven slats and they mesh below that. That is what I have seen as made, but things can be swapped around later.
Earlier vehicles could have mesh in the front openings of the hood or the heavy slatted steel armored setup and they would have had either of two grilles in the hole in the top of the hood. They look the same from the outside and are made of aluminum, but the SA type has thicker ribbes that extend farther downwards. Later Humvees with the standard hoods used the mesh in the upper hole and a crappy fiberglass slat covering with maybe five or six slats.

Re: Regular hood to a ecv conversion.
There is not an armor grill for the stub nose between the headlights. You could fit a normal hood armor grill for between the headlights there but ECV were not fitted with them. The armor grill I speak of is made of steel and was used on TOW missile truck IIRC. If you want one, I have a NOS unpainted one new in box.
