    Timing and money were aligned this time   This is my third 56 F100, plus a 53 and 55. Wasn't smart enough to keep any of those.

    Billy, I have a 20 ft trailer metal floor that I mounted a large metal box on the front where I installed a hidden wench and battery box inside of. There is a flip up door that allows the wench cable to come out. Keeps everything hidden and weather protected. Just looks like a tool box mounted to the front. The wench is mounted so that long bolts go underneath and mount to frame brackets I welded on.

    Ed, my Falcon/Willys buddy has a similar setup.  He added a little solar battery charger that keeps the two group 82 batteries at their peak so it's always ready to go.
