Winch for underbed spare

[ncoonen]

I searched a couple of times and came up with a couple of references to this idea from people who said they weer going to try it or did it. But, there are no specifics. Does anyone have pictures or suggestions for what parts might be best adapted to this task?

I remember the old-style long arm carrier that had to be loosened and swung out in order to load or unload the spare. Those were awful when brand new and you had a real chance of being injured if you weren't careful (and strong). The cable winch style spare carriers are much nicer. I have looked at a few styles for my '63 long fleet but am hoping for that someone has blazed this trail. My truck probably had the original underbed carrier years ago but it's long gone now.

Thanks!...ned.
