Anyone know where I can get a good CB winch for a 1980 C25, one that has a locking handle? Would prefer a direct bolt-in replacement.

We find that the "slip on" winch handle of the factory winch "slips off" too easily, bruising body parts in the process.

Thanx,
Jack

A few minutes with a drill press (through-drilling the handle) followed by through-drilling the winch shaft to match... put a lock pin or bolt through the holes and you've got a handle that won't slip off.

Thanks for the suggestion, Clam (may I call you Clam? <g>). I kinda thought about that idea, not sure I've got a drill with the power to drill through that winch handle, but I may give it a try.
