Winch Questions

[mtech]

I have been researching adding a winch to my '72 AMG M35a2c for several months. Looking through TMs, and the forums. Many great articles and useful information. Many of you seem to have done this with out a great deal of trouble. I still need the winch, been looking for the best deal. Have pto driveshaft off an MFT, plan on ordering frame extensions and PTO from Saturn or Memphis, who ever has the stock. Any suggestions on winches reasonable and close to Iowa? How about the brackets that mount to the end caps of the winch? Does anyone have the name plate data for the Garwood winch? and PTO? Were there other brand winches used for the '72 truck. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Josh

Westfolk,

Thanks for the info, checked their prices, seems almost to good to be true compared to most I've seen. Have you bought from them? Did you pick it up or have it shipped?

Some people on this board say you should go there and pick out your items... very good advice.

I got my winch from there. My dad actualy picked it up on one of his hauls and had to dig through a whole pile to find a good one.

Good point there Josh. That is why it is best if you go get it yourself. Then you know what you have.

I feel the same way. It is a little more trouble but you will be happy in the end.

You know that the guys pick the item on the top of the pile.......
