63 pto driven winch.
did ford make a factory pto winch for my 63 f250 4x4? i see some trucks came with them but don't know if they are factory ford or dealer installs etc. how hard is it to find an original used or is new (expensive) pto driven available for my old truck? i prefer pto driven since thats a more original setup. it's not in the budget right now but will be in the future so i'm doing some research i guess.
my trucks a 292 4sp (or 3sp with granny low depending on how you look at it) and from what little i've read i get the impression i need to be carefull in regards to application or can blow the guts out of my transfer case?.
thanks

I'm not sure about whether they came that way from Ford or if they were dealer installed, however, adding a PTO to your truck isn't too hard. Find an older pto winch such as the Braden MU2 as was used on the old D@dge military trucks.
Running the PTO shafts is the hardest part. Power the winch off the T-case as you've indicated, as you'll essentially get a multi-speed winch. Reversing direction is done by putting the transmission in reverse, eleimating the need for expensive (and hard-to-find) reversible pto's. Most older winches such as the MU2 cannot be reversed on the winch itself. No worries about the t-case if the PTO gears are shimmed correctly.

so it sounds as though the winch itself is somewhat standard. do you know if the drive shafts i need are specific to my 63 ford or were the shafts typically for universal applications. my transfer case is set up to accept a winch (maybe they all were i don't have a clue there) but thats about it, i have no winch equipment currently on the truck. as you can tell i'm pretty clueless on the subject.
thanks 93tdog.

yes, a pto winch is pretty "standard", in that it takes a rotational input from a driven shaft and uses it to power (turn) the winch drum via a worm gear.
The shafts are all universal applications, and come in square, hex, or rounds, 1", 1.5", etc diameters...all based upon the driven unit. 1" is usually sufficient for 1 10k winch if propery supported (3ft+/- intervals) along the length. Look in Mcmaster carr under "pillow blocks" and PTO shafts.
If your t-case already has a 6 bolt PTO, that's a start. find yokes, shafts and pillow blocks, then start looking for a route to the front of the truck, avoiding the exhaust pipes, axle, etc.
Check out Rustfree Classic 4x4 & 2 & 4 wheel drive Truck s, K5 Blazer s, Bronco s & Suburban s - rust free western Califronia Ford, Chevrolet, Chevy, & GMC 4x4's 4wd 2wd. on the right side of the web page, 3rd truck down there's a 1965 F100 factory 4x4 with a PTO winch. Look at all the pictures, exspecially the ones of the underside of the truck. there's some good pic's of how the shafts are run, using yokes to change direction to avoid obstructions, etc.

i'll check out the link 93tdog. i did crawl under my truck and look at the t-case again and i am admittidley having trouble visualizing how a drive shaft is going to go from there to the front bumper.
i don't currently have a pto on the t-case but i do have 8 bolt cover plate where i "think" it would bolt to.
once again thanks for the information and link.

Any know how Ford is activating the PTO on the new SD? With any luck it's not a cable thru the floor
