Say.....thats Really a good idea. Front mount.

Crom knows Ive got more than enough frontage space up there and it
would be easy to get to the frame for someting to mount to.

What about retricted flow to the radiator?

You are in "hot country" - it could be a problem. Was not a smart
thing to do in Central Africa in the seventies. Guaranteed overheat.
Out there many were mounted on the hood (bonnet) (Land Rovers) or
lashed to the roof of the cab. (Put a swing arm on a pedestal mounted
behing the cab with a winch and cable - lift the arm up from behind
the tire when needed and winch it up/down. Good project for Gunner.) -
Oh - he DID say it was on the VAN, didn't he? Would work better on the
Pick-up.

I would think if you leave a reasonable amount of space between the
carrier and the radiator grille, and don't put a cover on the tire that
you'd get plenty of airflow around and through the wheel. Fab a new
grille with better flow while you're at it.
