OK went to Home Depot and purchased everything on the list from the original post and the total cost was $250.
Bought the cable hand winch from Harbor Freight for $30.
I not sure how the original post states $150 but I didn't add any extras at all.
Only thing I can think of is he might of had some of the bolts and nuts handy. I had to purchase everything.

OK here's mine!
I can tell you this it will take you longer to walk Home Depot and find everything than it will to put it all together!
Finding the hooks was a PITA!
I ended up using a 3" 3/8 bolt and a 3" 3/8 U clamp and used a 3/8 coupler nut to put it all together. And it worked well! The coupler nuts in Home Depot are located below the 10' Channel Strut in wood bins along with the channel strut spring nuts.
Oh and the really cool thing is the winch handle has a nut right in the center so I can use my Ryobi Cordless Drill to raise and lower the winch!
