71 highboy pto winch

I am new to this forum or any forum so I hope I am asking this in the place. I have a 71 f250 highboy all original and it has a pto winch mounted on the front bumper. I was wanting to know if the winch was a factory option? I also have a 72 2wd that I bought for some body parts and it just stop running today and lost all power to everything but the horn any idea

I don't know about the winch, but the 72 sounds like a possible bad ignition switch.

Would that cause a complete lose of power to everything else? The head lights and all!

Pretty vague description of the problem. The more detailed the problem and how it came about means a better "over the internet diagnosis". Start with the obvious, fuses, battery, etc.

And yes that could be a factory pto winch.
