Chevy Dump Bed - PTO from TH400/NP205, Other specs coming in

[2Dogs]

Hey all!
Big life changes for us happening in a good way.

Looking at his truck instead of a dump trailer. Have not seen it yet but accoring to the owner it is 454/TH400/NP205. I am assuming that you have another output shaft and twin stick operation on the 205, please confirm.

And general thoughts on the truck would be greatly appreciated!

well funny you should tag me . i might know a little about the pto stuff .

the pto in this setup would be on the 205 t-case . it gets power from the input gear . so trans in 1st gear and t-case in N .

selecting the pto in would be in before t-case in N and truck rolling a tiny bit to line up gears so no grinding . then the pto would have its power and run your hydro controls with t-case in N position and your foot on the brakes of the truck or park brake on .

i will take a pto hydro dump all day over these new pile of crap 12volt units everyone uses on dump trailers or dump kits.

Nice! Better/faster than AI Thank you!

I have asked for pics of the bed raised, frame, etc and will post as I learn more.

Thats why you pay $25 per year for CK5 .

 

[2Dogs]

It has always paid off - and then some - for me.

And recently put the hard top back on so flying the CK5 stickers again

Anyone familiar with these hubs?

 

[sweetk30]

Look like early ford super duty .

That's what I thought too.

Concur! I did search by the way but did not pull anything up until I added Ferd to the search

Those are the vacuum actuated auto hubs. Never seen them on a Chevy before!

 

[2Dogs]

Oh shoot. Looked them up and it sounds like you can use manual mode (either/or). This truck will not see many miles, just need something functional for a ranch.

More info coming in from the owner. Planning road trip to see it on the 7th.

Nice truck.

At some point, I would put some used Warn or Spicer locking hubs on it, they’d cut down the amount those are sticking out by 1/2 or bit more.

Always wanted to do 35 spline hubs on the K5, maybe kick down the take-offs to this. If the SRW and DRW are swappable that is....
