Default Dawn Winch
Hi Guy's,
Another AWM picture and ......again Dawn winch mounted on a Ford Jeep! Obviously Fords were not quite as good as the Willys and needed the extra help

Oh what can of worms I think I just opened

On a serious note - I some how think the installation was easier on the Ford's due to the front cross member shape but I have no proof - it's just a hunch. Note also the front grille intact vertical bars.

Regards,
Brett.

I can see now how the folding handle was stowed.

Brett, Re the "Can of Worms"
Maybe the Ford chassis was robust enough to handle the load?

.......and it is a Ford because????

More pics in THIS THREAD.

I'm trying to find to old "For sale" thread when I sold my Dawn Winch, and I think it was either Ian or Brett who ended up buying it. Was lots of pics in that listing.
