The winch is probably a substantial part of whats bolted to the frame, and also likely hooked up via pto or hydraulic lines to the rest of the truck.
It may be ironic, but you might just wanna call a tow truck and have them assist.

That would be kinda cool. Maybe it would be easier to just found another 77 F-250 in good shape and keep the wrecker intact. We're prolly miles apart....but I know where there's a 76-77ish F-150 stepside for sale, but I dont know how much the guy wants for it or any of the particulars.

Main reason I want it off is so it'll fit in my garage! The A-frame has been "mis-welded" and can't lower any more.
Want to do a frame up job if I can. Cab has to be replaced, way to much rot, at least too much to pass inspection here in Mass.
BTW, yes the winch is PTO, looks kinda funky under there with 4 drive shafts!
