I have a factory electric winch in my 1972 w200 Crew Cab.
It would bolt right in your truck. It is the hideaway style behind the bumper under the front of the engine. So yes they exist and no mine isn't for sale/barter.

There is nothing really stopping you from bolting an electric winch to your rig. From the looks of your avitar pic you still have a factory bumper, I dont know how you'd bolt a winch onto it. Back in high school we'd would either make a bumper to bolt the winch to or somehow mount a receiver hitch to the frame and run a winch that way.

Yes you can put one on your truck, but it may look a little ugly with your factory bumper.
