Contact the Rohn Tower Mfg. company in Peoria, IL for their catalog.
You can see photo's of them in there and they also sell them.
BUT......as a person who's been in the tower maintenance and
erection game, I suggest that if you don't know what a gin pole even
looks like, that you NOT attempt to make one nor to attempt erecting
towers with one, at least not until you've been around some people
who've done it.  As witnessed by the 1500 foot tower collapse last
week in Texas, even professional companies can get people killed in
that business.  I watched my best friend/business partner fall 150
feet to his death as a tower collapsed, so I know whereof I speak.  
BE CAREFUL!!
73,
Mike
