I made a set of wooden "stake bed" sides for my rollback so it can do more than haul cars as well. Makes for a rather large tilt-bed dump.
Cool to see you restore the SM465 PTO setup. I ended up using a Muncie dual belt-drive for mine. Electric clutch. But prevents me from easily adding A/C. Also made for some interesting fab work to get the correct clutch fan spacing.

Well thank you! Somehow, in my mind, an old truck has to have a PTO. It was a tough call, the '67 I pulled the parts from had floor mounted levers to control the PTO, but I just couldn't bring myself to hack into a perfect factory floorpan.
I've never seen a Muncie belt driven hydraulic unit for a bed before, that's interesting! It's fairly common to see that sort of set-up on period snowplows, but they're basically just a second power steering pump. Is the Muncie set-up some kind of heavier duty pump?
