Abstract
A cable pulling truck has a rear bumper assembly secured to the vehicle frame. The bumper assembly includes two laterally outwardly extensible telescoping outrigger supports, each carrying at its outer end an upstanding vertical support tube for receiving therein the shaft of an associated winch motor in its use configuration. Each outrigger also carries a hand-operated jack assembly for supporting the vehicle on the ground, each jack assembly being pivotally movable between storage and use conditions. Multiple hydraulic and electrical couplers are carried by the bumper assembly for connecting the cable pulling system to hydraulic and electrical systems on board the truck.
