Hickey sidewinder winch
Howdy, just picked up a sidewinder winch last weekend and would like to put it behind the front bumper of a 1970 K5.
I found it on offer up and ended up paying $120 for it. But it came with no additional parts. I’d like to make my own mounting plate the same way Cleszkie did for his winch. I don’t know how to attach the link to the thread that I saw but his seemed to have come out solid. Is someone willing to share pictures of the original manual that explains setting up and wiring? Thanks -Vinnie |

Thanks. Whenever you’re ready to get rid of those sliding windows or that roof rack I’ll ship the winch your way

Re: Hickey sidewinder winch
Nice score! Did the same recently found this one. I plan on switching it over to synthetic winch line hopefully helping to keep it from binding up which the steel cable tends to do on these winches.

Re: Hickey sidewinder winch
Right back at you!
I also found a sidewinder III winch the next weekend and it came with a mount. I don’t know if you have one to compare it to, but does this look like the type used for the original Sidewinder? |
