Good stuff Blazerman! Wish I could find a Hickey Brush Guard to go along with my Hickey Sidewinder winch.
I had to laugh at the picture on your post #22 (picture on page 3) of the Hickey Catalog where that 71-72 truck is a snatched blocked a few feet from a tree. The reality is that is about how close you literally have to be to a winch post to use a snatch block as the Sidewinders winch cable is darn near that short!
Funny they advertized the Lev-O-Gage back then. I still use those today but they are getting hard to find. I think I found mine at a RV show years ago. I had no recollection the Lev-O-Gage was a 70’s relic
