Re: Pulling a Corvair onto a flatbed tow truck

Excellent! It is great when you get one all loaded and it pulls nice too. How can a winch have too much cable unless it won't all fit the spool? 20k must be a really big cable 5/8? Well I was wrong, i thought it was 7/16 inch but it is 1/2 inch cable, 80 feet of it which is a pain to deal with on t...

New ‘65 owner
