A front mounted receiver would be nice, especially for backing trailers into tight spots and all that, but it sounds expensive and then you have that goofy looking receiver hanging out there. The only way I would do a front mount receiver personally is with a ranch hand bumper, I just don't like the look with a regular bumper.
Why not just weld a hook made for the end of a chain onto some 1/2" steel, bolt to the frame rail, might need to make a spacer out of some square tubing, but the whole deal would be cheap and relatively easy. I have seen some guys selling tow hooks for these trucks, one on this forum, and he wanted like $150 for the set! I can't justify spending that kind of cash on an older truck, when I can get almost as good for $20-40 by making my own.
