RE: engine hoists

[henry rowlison <hrowliso@utep.edu>]

A few years back I constructed a "gin" pole setup that I installed in the 
back of my full size pickup truck.  The poles mounted on the bumper, a 
chain went from the poles to the front of the bed (attached to a welded 
in bracket via a clevis)  This created three points of attachment.  I 
attached a come-along to the end of the poles and have winched many 
engines out of their compartments.  With a steady foot on the gas pedal 
pulling an engine is an easy proposition for one or two guys.
