I=E2=80=99m working on a truck project (53 f-100) in a single car =
garage...  the truck is almost complete with 460 ci engine cab and bed =
in place...  when I started it was easy to push in and out of the =
garage.. especially out since the floor and drive slope slightly away =
from the door.   Pushing it back in is getting to be a problem when =
I=E2=80=99m working alone.   I=E2=80=99m thinking about mounting an =
extra 3000#  winch to the floor and spooling out the cable to the =
trailer hitch on the truck and using the winch to pull it back in.  The =
truck is on ball bearing wheeled dollies and moves easily on flat =
ground.  I need ideas for mounting the winch temporarily when I need =
it... =20

Maybe anchoring a removable ring in the floor and use chain thru the =
ring to tie to the winch mount plate... or something similar.   Not sure =
on floor thickness but know it=E2=80=99s at least 4=E2=80=9D  =
(I=E2=80=99m gonna drill and find out actual thickness)   I=E2=80=99m =
open to all suggestions and comments

thanks
John
