Re: 70’s Hickey Sidewinder Winch score
Could you possibly send me the wiring diagram as I just got one this week and need to wire in. Thanks

Re: 70’s Hickey Sidewinder Winch score
Sure thing. PM me with your email address. The wiring instructions kinda contradict themselves but you'll figure it out with the help of them.

Re: 70’s Hickey Sidewinder Winch score
PM DirtyLarry. He's the newfound keeper of knowledge when it comes to all things concerning Hickey Sidewinders. Actually, he's just got the wiring schematic, but I like busting his chops if you couldn't tell. He's currenty goofing off in Texas at Texas motor speedway watching the NASCAR festivities. If he is not completely wiped out when he gets back to his hotel he should be able to respond with the schematic. Just give him your email addy in the PM.

Re: 70’s Hickey Sidewinder Winch score
I had gotten a hickey in a '71 I sold a while back. It looked like it was a big pain in the neck to operate. Who wants to open their hood to operate their winch?? I dumped that rig for $600 (or less, I don't remember the exact price.)

Sure it's not as accessable as a bumper mounted winch, but it's not as much of a target for theft either. Even if one did notice it, it's sure not as easy to remove as a bumper mounted one thats for sure. It's ok you don't like it.. Some of us do. Plus it's a pretty cool chunk of wheeling history that still works quite well. I'd love to find one for mine.

Re: 70’s Hickey Sidewinder Winch score
dirtylarry . I just got a sidewinder two days ago that I want to use on my car trailer . This thing looks like a great winch. I thought I would look on the web to see if I could find a wire diagram and It led me to here. The truck forum I'm on every night. I never thought to ask in the 4x4 section . Anyway I would like to know if I could get a copy of the instructions also. It would be a big help. I'll send a pm with my email. Thanks..

Re: 70’s Hickey Sidewinder Winch score
You can at least give me credit for not cutting it off to help the chances of the truck selling.

Re: 70’s Hickey Sidewinder Winch score
Sidewinder sighting!!!! While sitting in front of the local Safeway this morning while the wifey went in for last minute turkey day prep, I saw a sidewinder. Funny thing was that it was on a 96 Z71. I was putting around the lot when I saw the cable hooked to the tow hook, but no visible winch. A quick look back found the vertical hawse slot just below the licence plate.
I never knew you could get a sidewinder for that body style of truck! Just another option to look for when looking for a sidewinder I guess..

Re: 70’s Hickey Sidewinder Winch score
What a bargain! So, about how much does a Sidewinder winch weigh?

Re: 70’s Hickey Sidewinder Winch score
That is a heck of a deal you got there Baja!
That cable definitely looks brand new. Did you get the skid plate, relays and all the other goodies as well? PM me if you would like a PDF copy of the instructions that I received from Advance Adapters. Yukon, My guess is they weight about 80 lbs or so. There not the strongest winch but are still pretty cool piece of GM truck history. I still want to mount a stronger winch on the rear bumper someday soon before I find myself in a sticky situation where the Sidewinder might get burnt up. I noticed my Sidewinder is leaking so that will need to be dealt with once I get the 8.1L all buttoned down and situated.

Re: 70’s Hickey Sidewinder Winch score
A Hickey Sidewinder w/cable weighs 122 lbs. (w/out skid plate).
An original skid / protection plate (for a '74 Blazer) weighs 19+ lbs.

Re: 70’s Hickey Sidewinder Winch score
I am getting ready to clean up the Sidewinder Winch I got. Has anyone been into one of these? Can I assume that you can just unbolt the cover plates and clean everything up without any hidden springs, etc. waiting to "jack-in-the-box"? Just don't want to get hurt...
If anyone has a set of original owners instructions with a blown up diagram they could copy that would be great! I got the wiring stuff from Larry, really helped with the the rats nest I got. Also, it looks like you do not have to open the hood to use the winch if you set up the clutch lever to operate from underneath or through the grille and you locate the control cable connection in the grill or between the bumper and valence like you would a trailer electrical connection on the back bumper. |

Re: 70’s Hickey Sidewinder Winch score
Couple hundred bucks i'd assume due to said winch being a rarity.
I'll clean her up this week and see if i can make her work... Need to go thru all 8 K5's and start parting things out and such anyways. DW
