Useful or junk?

[Vicente Aceves]

Hello. I just got this auxiliary tank and sidewinder III winch. They came as a package deal with some other parts.

The winch still says Hickey but the paperwork is marked 1987. No controller and no mount. I didn’t know they made a sidewinder 3. Is it worth trying to piece together the rest of what I’ll need to make it useful? Or are the sidewinder 3 winches notorious for being piles of crap compared to the earlier versions.

The seller told me the winch came off his brother’s 72 blazer along with this auxiliary tank. He didn’t have all the particulars about the tank. Does anyone know who made this style tank. Doesn’t look like any hickey tank from the catalog. Thanks for any help. -Vinnie
