Default Winch

Hi Walde

Comment on the winch, you may want to consider attaching the cable to the drum before you put the drum in the truck. Very tight working space to try and bend the 5/8ths cable end and get the clamp on if it is inside of the frame rail. If you don't want to mount the cable be sure to check the bolts threads, drum threads and fit of the clamp plate before installing the drum. Even with the body off once the drum is in place it is not easy to work on.

I had problems because I discovered, after the body was on the truck, that one of the thread holes on the drum was stripped or warn from being loose so that it is hard to get the bolts tight.
