Which Winch C4 need
I picked up a car hauler so I can go to farther away shows (without worry) and carry more stuff in truck. It has a place for a winch. anybody know what pulling power a winch would need to load a non-running C4?

I would think anything somewhere over 5,000 lbs would do the job even for a fully built C4.

I have a Harbor Freight $130 cheapie, I think it is for a SxS, probably somewhere around 2,000 lb dead-pull. It doesn't strain at all to pull the 92 up the ramp and in. You need a good condition, fairly well-charged automotive battery right on the trailer for the winch, a jump box won't do it. 7-pin RV connectors and plugs have a battery charging lead in them, so the battery charges while you drive.
