Here's the general idea, I believe. The two tubes laying alongside the bed in your picture swivel up and are joined together, with a sheave between them. The winch cable runs over the sheave. Seems like another piece is needed tho?
PS -- it's a '51

Ross is correct, the "gin" poles are in the pockets on the side of the bed. It should have a piece that connects the two and supports the the pulley for the cable from the winch to ride on. It also has what is called a rolling tail board. These style trucks are still used a lot in the oil fields here in Texas.

If you look on the rack / cage you can see the wish bone like pipe that hooks it together and you can see the big big pully / tackle too
