Even though today was kind of a waste. Its days like this you get to talk to folks you might not be able to under more normal circumstances. I like it when the group pulls together its why I remain a member. And try to help out as many as I can, when I can. :-D

I think we need to take up donations and buy him a winch for that freeking trailer!
Yeah, I endorse this 100%. Say a winch is $2500, it only takes 100 SS users to donate $25 to get it.

More accurately, a $1,000 winch will only take 10 people $100 or vice-versa.

I'm in for a Franklin if that's what it's going for. Someone PM me the model# of a decent winch!

Found one for $759 + shipping. 16,800# pull, comes with a fairlead. I will go ahead and buy it, and if we can get 10 people to donate $75, I'll cover the difference.

I'm buying it. If the "deal" falls through, it's not like I can't use the winch. :)

Someone let me know if I need to start a new thread somewhere.

I have a deuce winch in the back yard that belongs to Capt.
He just "forgot" it the last time he was here.
It will need a hydrolic motor setup to be able to work since it was a PTO driven one.
I can ship it somewhere if need be.

Does everyone here have a CUCV key? If not you should. The Dodge key ain't bad to have either. I have both most everywhere I go!

Does Dodge even have key codes?
They do-at least they did.

I had the original dealer tag that came with my '68 440 4speed GTX. It was a small aluminum tag with the code for the keys that came on the circular ring with the original keys.

Here's a 1950's set of NOS keys and locks, the tag can be seen on the ring.

Does the SECM bodies all have the same locks? Mine had the locks stripped off before I got it.

If the winch leaves today, the soonest it'll be there is tomorrow: Thursday, and that will be at a premium (freight).

PM me the address where this thing needs to be and I'll see what the adjusted cost is with freight. As for paying for it, give the money directly to Captain, because this is coming out of what I owe him. :)

He is in Michigan somewhere right now heading north up the west side of the state.. He will be heading back south tonight and be back at Rock Island in the morning.. So to get it here on Thursday would be to late.. But he could maybe swing down to Indianapolis in the morning and then over to Rock Island? I can ask him when he gets here or maybe call him?
