You never know what's still out there, this showed up on Craigslist the other day and ended up being just a 5 minute drive down the road from me. its not a Sidewinder but a worm gear drive, probably made by Ramsey or Tulsa but its not as wide. Its still meant to fit between the frame rails and behind the stock bumper.

Get her on and go start yanking out some fords...

Great score Rob. I don't remember them offering those, but my guess is they were offering them before coming out with the Sidewinder design. I think I'd rather have this one. My first thought when I saw it was Ramsey, but Tulsa is just as likely. Let me know when you find one for me... Thanks!

Tim, I don't remember this style either but I believe its a much better design than the Sidewinder.

I'd think it would "spool" better. Great piece o' 4wd history. I love vintage 4wd (and know you do,too). I wish there could be a museum like there is for about any other automotive segment.

Are you sure that fits behind the bumper and between the frame. It looks way to big to me. It looks just like the Ramsey I have on my trailer, they are really stout, I broke 2 warns before getting this s one
