Mike: I've done a bit of research and found that the 420 and 465 use the same PTO according to Chelsea anyway. The NV45 is a different beast and I never really looked for one for a 205 as I don't think I'd go that way at all. Auto isn't that important to me. I'll check with a local hydraulic shop we have...see if maybe they have some experience with these things. No truck body company around here per se.

Ed: That is kind of why I just put V8 as far as engine went.

More what I'm looking for is what sort of pressure and GPM these old hoists worked on. If I can find that info I can maybe find an electric hydraulic pump/motor/reservoir combo and go auto trans.

Other question which I think I know the answer to is: Does the GKT134 use the same PTO and the 420/465? Chelsea's catalog didn't include that trans for an option so I can't compare as I did with the 420/465.

The t-case bit I threw out before it was a suggestion, also along with tranny options....main thing I'm looking for is the specs on these hoists....what PSI/GPM/HP/RPM requirements do they have?

Thanks guys,

Chris
