First ,you need the adapter to the tranny it bolts on the driver side under a plate.
Then you need to determine what you want to drive/ a hyd pump ,generator etc..
Set the switches on the dash for Idle controller

Should be a tin cover on the tranny, roughtly rectangular or square, maybe 6" on a side.
The PTO box would bolt to that area of the tranny, and inside the tranny is a gear specifically to mate to the PTO box.
The box would have a shaft sticking out the back, to put a u-joint on, to drive a driveshaft, that would probably be extended out to underneath the bed. From there, a pulley or sprocket would drive a chain or belt that passes through the bed up to whatever you want to run.
Other people have asked about generators or compressors, and for the money, a standalone model is cheaper than hooking up to the PTO.
But the PTO has it's advantages - LOTS of power - your truck's engine is driving whatever you connect to it. No other engines to fill with fuel or oil. etc.
Otherwise, the PTO is kinda like teats on a bull, if you know what I mean
