M813A1 W/Hoist

[drgreg]

Started installing the 1 1/2 ton hoist in the bed of my M813A1 today. My truck was an ENG CO truck and at some point had a hoist like this in it.
The hoist is a chainfall type, on a locking trolly.
In the near future I will be mounting 2 spare tires behind the cab, HEMTT style.

It's to load/unload the spare tires, they are **** heavy.
Maybe a few half barrels or drunk chicks. Sideline at the cemetary doing plantin's.
What kind of a question is "what are you going to do with that"??? Have you lost your mind man??? Spraying the CARC without the resperator again???

Nice looking add on. What brand of chain hoist? Have frame but no hoist or trolley and am not sure what was issued with it. Personally, any drunk chicks that need that kind of hoist to load I would tend to leave where they lie, but hey, its a little warmer down here....

It is a Yale, I will get some pictures in the near future.

A few pics. from GL.
The frame for this unit was built at the Rock Island Arsenal.

Really nice hoist, greg. I have the older, WWII/Korean War era version. I have the original trolley and hoist but it needs to be rebuilt.

This one is new and the bed on my truck has the correct mounting holes, go figure.

I was wondering when you were going to get around to mounting that thing. It looks good in the bed of that truck, but it would look better in the bed of mine . Seriously though, the first "planting" you get to help out with at the local cemetery, make sure you post pics...you know how we like pics.
