I've got one of those for sale. It's not on my truck anymore, not much use for it the days. What would be the best way to find a buyer?

Start by listing it in the classifieds.

I have been looking for one for a resto project. Wonder what it would cost for shipping to Wyoming (82414)? PM me if you'd like to sell it.

They are a good strong winch. I knew several folks that ran them (back in the day). Most guys then were using them for a rear mounted winch since the design lends itself to tucking between frame rails.

The only issues I remember folks having with them is that the cable (if loosely spooled in) will allow the cable to 'pinch' itself next time you really make a pull if you didn't spool it all out. Also, letting your cable get muddy and spooling it in makes a mess of the drum and housing inside.

But as far as being decently powerful and reliable...they did pretty good (for the day).

I have one I'll sell, if someone is interested. Just PM me.

Do you still have the Hickey sidewinder?
