Yep, I grabbed that image off your site and included it in my album. Thanks.
The pulley housing has two roller fairleads that allow you to pull from both sides. The winch line hook inserts in an eye in the cable end with no thimble. It can be removed to thread the cable through the pulley in the pole derrick as well as the pulley mounted to the utility bed. My cable is rusty and frayed and will need to be replaced before I lift anything really heavy like an engine.
A couple of interesting things about that image. The guy line in the truck on the right goes to a winch in the center of the utility bed, unlike mine which simply has a pulley on the front of the bed. The winch may be hand-operated or PTO driven. The telescoping pole is mounted to the fender with the larger tube in the higher position. Not sure why they did that. It looks like there may be three tubes. I have one of the round rubber-bottom belt buckets that is shown hanging from the truck on the left!
