Purchased this ole winch, long campfire story. Almost 2 years later and its here. What you see is all i got. Cleaned up well. Were winches painted body color?? I thought they would be black.

Nice!

 

[mmcinnis]

Couple more.

 

[daniel.watters]

Not sure Mike. Bumpers and frames were body color; why not a teq winch?

Great looking early winch, nice to have the chain and hook, spud shaft and the mounting wedges. They were body color!

 

[mmcinnis]

So red or black?? I'm leaning black.
Let's let some of the old school guys chime in!

Checked the fj25 picture thread and found this picture. Pewter?

I’m not sure it was painted from the factory. Is the body aluminum or steel?

 

[mmcinnis]

Spray bombed!

Finally repairing the last 3 wheels. It's odd the wheels from Australia had no hubcap clips. Sacrificed some old split trims I put the clips on.

 

[cult45]

Outback wheels, no need for hubcaps!

 

[mmcinnis]

All wheels are done! That took a lot longer than I thought. Not perfect but not

bad for 61 year old rusty wheels.

Mounted.

Mounted.

[scoobiedubes]

[mmcinnis]

True!

Pulled these out of misc box of 25 parts. This truck was completely disassembled and had to ask @Cruiser_Nerd

where they belonged. Mounts to the frame for the rear bump stops. Wanted to show the Seminole red patina before painting.
