I have been digging around trying to find anything on the hoist you see in the following photos. Thought it was a Gar Wood but all the lit I find so far says no. Anybody here remember these or can identify them? I am trying to find some literature on the one I have. Thank you and Merry Christmas. 41 panel & 41 1.5 platform

I think it is really old. My grandfather had hoists that were this style on some of his pre 1920's dump trucks.

I have lots of photos of these things being used on 40-47 trucks including this one. Also saw one on a 40 International, that is why I thought they would have been from that era. May have been earlier, still like to find out the make so I can locate literature on them. 41 panel & 41 1.5 platform

I remember seeing lifts like yours but never caught the name. I looked thru my Ford literature back to about 1935, and thru James K. Wagner's FINE book "FORD TRUCKS SINCE 1905" for the 1935 to 1949 period without finding any reference to this style body hoist. This style looks very simple when compared to the other under-the-bed hydraulic hoists offered by so many other manufacturer's such as Galion, Anthony, etc. Hope this helps. Lincoln.
