While working at a restoration shop a few years ago, we had a pretty cool winch setup on the company truck. It was a late 80's or early 90's F350 4x4, and even being stock, set fairly high. The shop owner had mounted his winch up under the bed between the rear frame rails. I don't remember exactly how he had it mounted, but the cool part was that it was lined up right behind the license plate on his step bumper. After cutting some hidden access holes, he then had the license plate mounted on an old style spring loaded hinge mount.
It worked out good as we could use any of the car haulers, but the winch was always with the truck. Also, being completely hidden behind the bumper and license plate, meant little chance of it being stolen.
