1st Gen front receiver hitch?

I am looking for a front receiver hitch to put on my 93 W250. I searched all the main manufacturer's - Curt, Hidden Hitch, Reese etc, and they all seem to make front receiver's for 94 and up Ram's?
Anyone modify a 94 receiver to fit a 1st gen? I would like to fit a front receiver to my rig, for moving my 20' Lund boat and 18' flatbed, arounded my WAY crowded lot I was going to buy an older small diesel tractor, for plowing and moving stuff, but can't find one that fits my limited budget

Put a Buckstop bumper on it, unless you're like me and don't have the two grand laying around.

Don't think that will happen Looks as if I'll have to dust off the ol Miller Thunderbolt 'buzz box,' and build my own

Check Valley industries. They should have a full line of hitches for the 1st gen dodge, front and rear.

on my 4x4 i ended up putting on a "replacement" bumper, very simple 10 inch channel with a reciever cut and welded in. on my 2wd i was thinking of welding up something behind the stock bumper. going to cut a hole behind the front plate and have it sit back there.

Thanks all for the input! Mtnbikeman, I looked into Valley, they offer rear hitches for the 1st gen, no front hitches though
